I'm trying to install m2e-wtp by going to the Window->Preferences->Maven->Discovery option, selecting m2e-wtp and going through the wizard. However, after confirming all dialogs, Eclipse seems stuck showing "Installing Software: (0%)" in the bottom right corner. I am unable to close Eclipse and attempts to cancel the install just hang Eclipse.
I've uninstalled/cleaned all eclipse folders and installed fresh with the same result. I've tried installing all WTP/Web/m2e/stuff first and tried installing m2e-wtp with only the "Maven Integration (m2e) and related..." packages installed. The installer just hangs at 0%. I'm installing/running on Windows 7 Enterprise (x64). Installing to a secondary drive where there are no elevated permission requirements. I let it sit all night...any thoughts?
