So I've worked it out.
For other's I'll outline the solution.

I'm using Fedora which has it's own tailored Eclipse installation. The
problem was related to the Available Software Sites preconfigured with
the Fedora installation.
Help -> Install Software -> Available Software Sites.
The fix was to restrict the enabled sites to:
- Eclipse Project Test Site
- Helios
- Helios Milestone Repository

Then when you follow the Google apps eclipse plugin steps, the install
goes smoothly.
