Unable to install Google APIs Eclipse Plugin

Question

I am trying to install the Google APIs Eclipse Plugin, on Eclipse v3.7 (Indigo). I have tried both from a local copy of the archive (ZIP file) and online through Eclipse's "Install New Software" feature, but am unable to get it working. Instead, I constantly get these messages:

Multiple Problems have occurred:
An internal error occurred during "Install download0".
Install download0
Install download0
Install download1
Install download2
Install download2

Clicking more information brings up this:

An internal error occurred during: "Install download0".
Comparison method violates its general contract!

The error log says:

    Error closing the output stream for osgi.bundle,org.eclipse.m2e.maven.runtime,1.0.200.20111228-1245 on repository file:/C:/eclipse/.

I am 100% certain that I am downloading the Eclipse 3.7 version of the plugin, and none of the other fixes listed on the internet have helped. Any help is greatly appreciated, and if any other information is required I am more than happy to provide it - thank you very much!

No- this is a plugin for Eclipse IDE 3.7 for Android Development. I need the Google APIs Plugin in order to integrate Google Drive into my application. Unless that uses App Engine? (I don't think it does) — Henry Thompson, May 25 '13 at 22:29
Yaa. Some say that `Comparison method violates its general contract!"` kind of error came from a bug, if you are using JRE 7. Insted if you use JRE 6, it might solve the problem. I am not sure though but might be worth a try. — Shobhit Puri, May 25 '13 at 22:39
Thanks, I might give that a try. How can I install JRE 6 though - I've only got JRE 7 according to Eclipse Preferences?? — Henry Thompson, May 25 '13 at 23:28
I think the way to get JRE 6 is would be to uninstall JRE 7 and the install JRE 6. Or you can also just install JRE 6 and then ask eclipse to use JRE 6. I think I saw some stackoverflow questions on that. — Shobhit Puri, May 25 '13 at 23:35

You must download Android Development Bundle from here. With a single download, the ADT Bundle includes everything you need to begin developing apps:

Eclipse + ADT plugin

Android SDK Tools

Android Platform-tools

The latest Android platform

The latest Android system image for the emulator

Thanks for the suggestion, but I've already got the very latest ADT installed. I'm trying to install the Google API Plugin, which is completely separate. Any ideas about that? – Henry Thompson May 28 '13 at 13:50

You can set java 6 instead of 7 in properties->java compiler.

And update your eclipse, I remember having the same problem. Why to use 3.7 anyways.
