I've read information from 7 different sites and read a number of posts regarding installing PyDev using eclipse.

Every time I run the add new software as instruction, I encounter the following error

Error:

    Lots of other questions about this. The solution seems to be either install a new version of Eclipse or an older version of PyDev. – greg-449 Feb 01 '14 at 09:14
  • Yes, updading to kepler, eclipse 4.3, allowed me to install pydev 3.3.3.20.... etc, where previously I was getting same errors as you. There is lots of good information here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17337526/how-to-upgrade-eclipse-for-java-ee-developers-from-juno-to-kepler – John Powell Feb 03 '14 at 18:30
  • Yup, figured it out earlier today. I had trouble getting PyDev to show up in Eclipse after successfully loading it. If that happens, make sure you have Java JDK 8, apparently. Once I updated my Java, PyDev showed up no problem. Now to learn Eclipse... – Blackwell Feb 04 '14 at 06:00
  • The Install Page (http://pydev.org/manual_101_install.html) says: "Eclipse 3.8 onwards is required for the latest versions of PyDev (if you need to use an earlier version of Eclipse, stick to PyDev 2.8.x).". – Rob Oct 06 '14 at 15:54

The problem is in Eclipse 3.7 (it can't read the signature done in the PyDev plugin -- this is a bug fixed on Eclipse 3.8).

So, in short, you need Eclipse 3.8 onwards in order to install PyDev using the update site (and also, PyDev now requires java 7 -- as a note, LiClipse: http://brainwy.github.io/liclipse/ which is a commercial counterpart of PyDev is standalone and has all requisites builtin).
