STS 2.6.1 win7 64 Google Plugin for Eclipse installation fails

[markmarz]

Hi,

I'm new to STS and GWT so I'm following instructions laid out here:
http://code.google.com/webtoolkit/do...l/roo-sts.html

1. installed bundle springsource-tool-suite-2.6.1.RELEASE-e3.6.2-win32-x86_64-installer.exe
2. install Google Plugin for Eclipse from Extensions tab
3. fail

Here's the message (copy of log copylog.txt also attached):
Problems occurred while performing installation: The following connectors are not available: Google Plugin for Eclipse (id=com.google.appengine.eclipse.sdkbundle.e36.fea ture.1.4.2.feature.group, com.google.gwt.eclipse.sdkbundle.e36.feature.2.2.0 .feature.group, site=http://dl.google.com/eclipse/plugin/3.6)
The following connectors are not available: Google Plugin for Eclipse (id=com.google.appengine.eclipse.sdkbundle.e36.fea ture.1.4.2.feature.group, com.google.gwt.eclipse.sdkbundle.e36.feature.2.2.0 .feature.group, site=http://dl.google.com/eclipse/plugin/3.6)

I then attempted to install the plugin from Help->Install New Software .. using site
http://dl.google.com/eclipse/plugin/3.6. No apparent errors, was prompted for restart of STS, did so. I couldn't find any confirmation that the plugin was installed, but optimistically went ahead with roo to install sample expenses app. After lengthy maven downloads ended up with

1 required artifact is missing.

for artifact:
org.springsource.roo.extrack:extrack:war:0.1.0.BUI LD-SNAPSHOT

from the specified remote repositories:
spring-maven-milestone (http://maven.springframework.org/milestone),
central (http://repo1.maven.org/maven2),
maven.springframework.org.external (http://maven.springframework.org/external),
spring-roo-repository (http://spring-roo-repository.springsource.org/release),
spring-maven-release (http://maven.springframework.org/release),
JBoss Repo (https://repository.jboss.org/nexus/c...ories/releases)

I'm not eager to dig further .. I'm new to Maven as well. At this point I'd like to know if there's some way to fix the original install from Extensions in hopes that all else will fall into place. All I'm trying to do is get a proper development environment for GWT.

Thanks,
Mark M.
