Software Update problem [message #262895]

When I launch (the latest) Europa and go to Help->SOftware Updates->Find
and Install, I get a spinning cursor for a couple of seconds, then no
window (I usually get one) and if I try it again, I get an alert message
to the effect that

Another install/update job is in progress. Please cancel it and the
re-launch this action. OK.

This hasn't happened to me before and now it's all that happens whenever I
launch Eclipse.

Thanks for the help.

Hi,

did you try to start eclipse with the "-clean" option? This takes a
little longer, but should reinitialize your plug-ins on startup (at
least I didn't loose any plug-ins or settings, but got rid off an
installation problem as well with that option).
