I am trying to update Eclipse and have run into this error message:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Comparison method violates its general contract!

the update process appears to be stuck at 35% and never proceeds beyond that.

Windows Vista SP2, Eclipse Indigo

Any help would be appreciated!

thanks

You ran into https://bugs.eclipse.org/317785. You have two choices:
1. use a JRE 6 for the update
2. set the following Java system property:
java.util.Arrays.useLegacyMergeSort=true
