Eclipse 3.7 Indigo-'Install new software' not progressing : GWT Designer [closed]

I am really stressed with Installing any new software/plugin into my eclipse. The Install new software just does not work for me ! It goes upto a certain point and just stops there.. I am not able to install new plugin through eclipse, I have to get the zip file and put the plugins and features into respective folders and restart eclipse.

I have no idea why is this the case ? No issue with firewall and internet I guess. There are some plugins like GWT designer which needs to be installed using Eclipse only and does not get properly installed via zip file extraction.

Anyone had similar issues??

Are you sure you don't need to have a proxy set up? I had the same problem where the install would only get to 50% before hanging, and setting the proxy fixed it. - Mike Caputo
Have you tried running Eclipse.exe in Admin mode, does this still happen? - jhurtado
I am trying running as Admin now.. lets see what happens - AnujKu
@SumDeos How to set the proxy ?? can you tell me ? - AnujKu
@AnujKulkarni "Go to Window > Preferences > General > Network Connections". From there you can configure Eclipse to use your proxy settings. - Mike Caputo

The cause of problem was AVG Antivirus which was blocking the installation. So in the future take care that you don't have an antivirus program running on your computer that will block installing software in Eclipse.
