We're sorry, but something went wrong.
We've been notified about this issue and we'll take a look at it shortly.

Solution 1

I was using Netbeans for my JAVA project before, but when I started with Android I found it more useful to start with Eclipce. So if you not have to use NB, I recommend you to switch.

Solution 2

Kenai.com site no longer hosts these plugins. I recommend going to Install Plugins..|Settings | Add (Give it a name e.g. Android or NB)|Ok http://nbandroid.org/updates/updates.xml or if you're having a lazy connection download the plugins directly from http://nbandroid.org/downloads/ and add them from the Download tab and proceed as usual.
