Eclipse hangs when installing new software

I am trying to install new software within Eclipse the C++ version. Help -> install new software. When I go to install new software, it hangs or takes hours to move a percentage.

I have read that this is a known bug in JRE7, which I am assuming I am using since I have it installed. I changed to JRE6 by changing the eclipse.ini file with the argument -vm XXXX where XXXX is the path to my javaw.exe.

It does not seem to have changed anything.

Ideas?

Thanks.

  • Finally it worked for me only by unchecking Contact all update sites during install to find required software. From what I'm seeing it might be a Mac issue, on Windows and Linux it worked without any change.
