A tip for those who still don't use eclipse as an ABAP development IDE: install the 2022-03 version of eclipse and install using the standard procedures and when installing ADT, use the corresponding version via the link https://tools.hana.ondemand.com/2022-03.

I tried to install the latests versions several times and during the installation of ADT errors always occurred.
During my analysis, a year ago, this was the version that installed without any problems.
After installation, remember to update to the latest version of eclipse and ADT. It will work normally.

Hope this helps.

Happy Challenge to y'all.
