Also got same problem:
System: AMD64 Ubuntu 10.04
I installed Eclispe via the Ubuntu Software Centre, then attempted to
install several different addons, all getting the same error (after a
certificate warning):
An error occurred while installing the items
session context was:(profile=Platform
Regarding my comment above, I tried Benjamin's suggestion to install
eclipse-plugin-cvs, which led me to learn that I also needed to install
these packages via apt-get too:
eclipse-jdt
eclipse-pde
Then new software installation worked! Thanks for the suggestion.
