Answer 1

It might be too late to answer this, but here's how I got it fixed -

1. In eclipse, open the marketplace window,
2. In search tab, search for "checkstyle" (without the quotes)
3. Install "Checkstyle Plug-in" from search results
4. Try installing the plugin which failed to install earlier (The one that made you read this)
