Android – conflicting dependency when trying to install ADT plugin into eclipse

adtandroiddependencieseclipseplugins

Here are my specs:
Eclipse: 3.5.2
ADT plugin: 11.0.0
PC: Windows 7

So far, I've installed the Android SDK and Eclipse. However when I attempt to install the ADT plugin into eclipse I get the following error:

Cannot complete the install because of a conflicting dependency.

Any suggestions?
I've seen a few posts about re-installing eclipse, but that's something i'm not comfortable with doing because it was such a pain to find the 64-bit version in the first place.

If you want to suggest re-installing eclipse, i'd greatly appreciate it if you found the download link for the windows 64-bit version. thx 🙂

or if you know how to fix this error directly that would be really helpful 😀

It looks like the latest ADT version requires Eclipse Helios (3.6). That seems odd since I can't find where that requirement is documented.

You could try getting a new Eclipse version. You could also grab an earlier ADT version, though I'm having trouble finding that.
