Not sure what the problem exactly is, but I worked around this by starting up STS, select "Install New Software" and pasted the Solarlint update site URL into that dialog: http://eclipse.sonarlint.org/

That allowed me to install the plugin into STS 3.7.2 without any issues. Hope this helps!!!

This does not seem to work anymore. eclipse.sonarlint.org does not look like an update site. Downloading the package and installing manually from the archive worked for me on STS 3.8.1.
