As an alternative to installing from the update site, you can also install the Google Plugin for Eclipse by downloading it as an archive and extracting into your Eclipse installation. You may find this alternate approach helpful in the case that Eclipse can't reach the update site, which is the case behind some firewalls (if you know the proxy information, try configuring Eclipse to use the proxy first, see the instructions for Eclipse 3.5, Eclipse 3.4 or Eclipse 3.3.)
This approach assumes that your Eclipse installation already has the dependencies for the Google Plugin for Eclipse, which are not present in some Eclipse distributions. If you have problems installing into the copy of Eclipse you already have, you should try installing on a fresh copy of the Eclipse IDE for Java Developers from eclipse.org, which comes with all of the plugin's dependencies.
Caution: On a given Eclipse installation, we recommend using either this approach or an update site -- installing via one and upgrading with another may not work as expected.
