Eclipse IDE failed to install ;

Hi 

I am trying to install the Force ide and used the following
https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.eclipse.meta/eclipse/ide_install.htm

and eclipse installer fails here:

g.eclipse.equinox.p2.transport.ecf code=1002 Unable to read repository at http://download.eclipse.org/releases/neon/201512181000/content.xml.
org.apache.http.NoHttpResponseException: download.eclipse.org failed to respond





my java version is:

java version "1.8.0_121"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_121-b13)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 25.121-b13, mixed mode)


How do I fix so that the eclipse IDE for Force.com does not fail on install ?

Hi Jamie,
"The Eclipse IDE for Java Developers distribution is recommended".
Other version of eclipse like J2EE are not supported the force.com plugin.
download the eclipse from
http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/eclipse-ide-java-developers/neon2
the install force.com plugin in it as described the steps in
https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.eclipse.meta/eclipse/ide_install.htm

Mark as the best answer if it helps,

Thanks,
Balayesu

Thanks for responding.  I installed Neon2 and when I ran eclipse it failed with:
"Java was started but returned exit code=13
c:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java\javapath\javaw.exe
-Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.8
-XX:+UIseG1GC

my java version is:
java version "1.8.0_121"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_121-b13)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 25.121-b13, mixed mode)

Any suggestions ?
