Can't install pkg-config plugin (Mars 4.5.1)

[Tzuriel]

Hey.
I am trying to install the plug-in but get into some error, and I was hoping someone here might be able to help...

In Eclipse, I go to  Help -> Eclipse Marketplace... I then search (and find) the pkg-config plug in, and click "Install":

But when I click "Confirm>"

Clicking "Yes" does not help.

Did anyone run into this problem?

Hi,

 

I got the same error twice when I tried to update through marketplace. However when I manually added https://raw.githubusercontent.com/TuononenP/pkg-config.p2/master/site.xml as update site the plugin then installed correctly. I don’t know what causes this error, but I hope the alternative method (adding update site manually) works for you.

I don't have an answer, just want to say I'm having the same issue on Linux Mint 18 running Eclipse 4.6.1

Installed it, built a project successfully that uses pkg-config, but now cannot create new projects (Getting Java NullPointerException).

Tried reinstalling the plugin using the method above.  Still does not work.
