Comment 7 for bug 530414

I ran ubuntu update manager and got all the updates including the latest eclipse for lucid. Note that I followed googles instructions last year for Android development and downloaded SUN JDK 6. I noticed when I ran Ubuntu Update manager at the beginning of March the Sun JDK updated from an ubuntu repository. Now there is definitely a change from the previous eclipse under lucid as the google android plugin now runs without complaining about missing dependencies. I can create the hello android project as described at developer.android.com. Unfortunately when I run the project all I see is the Google Android emulator screen with the word Android in the middle - not Hello Android as I put in the .java file. So I don't think I can yet use Ubuntu to create Android apps. It appears from the developer.android.com site there is a new version of the ADT eclipse plugin 0.9.6 March 2010. When I select Install New Software under the eclipse help menu I get the same error I was seeing before:

Some sites could not be found. See the error log for more detail.
  No repository found at https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/.
  No repository found at http://dl.google.com/eclipse/plugin/3.5.
  No repository found at http://download.eclipse.org/releases/galileo.

I click on the link to the error log and the error pane opens with "unable to load repository" errors but when I mouse into the pane I see a rotating circle - nothing happens when I click on the error.

Now when I select Check for Updates under the eclipse help menu three red Xs appear "unable to load the repository"
I can click on these and see a stack trace added as attachment with session data:
