NIOS Application and BSP from Template Doesn't Work

Question

If I create an hello world application as per the you tube videos:
Designing with NIOS® II Processor Part 1 and 2
I can make a processor in Quartus easily, can compile is uccessfuuly, but when I try to create a project in the execrable Eclipse by doing:
File | New | NIOS II Application and BSP from template
The system just sits there doing bot all with that annoying red and blue arrow spinning round and round forever.
This is the same on two Linux installations. It should not be this difficult. 
What on earth could be going on please? Happy to give any more information as necessary.
