[Benjamin Drung (bdrung)]

Do you have eclipse-jdt installed?

[Danny Tamez (zematynnad)]

No, my plan was install CDT. Should I install it anyway?

[Cody A.W. Somerville (cody-somerville)]

I can confirm this bug. I ran into it when trying to install Eclipse XML Editors and Tools.

[Cody A.W. Somerville (cody-somerville)]

After installing all the other eclipse packages (ie. eclipse-pde, eclipse-jdt, and eclipse-rcp), I stopped getting this error and was able to install plugins.

[Benjamin Drung (bdrung)]

We have moved org.eclipse.ant.ui from eclipse-jdt to eclipse-platform (will be in the next release).

For installing plugins you probably need eclipse-platform and eclipse-pde.

[Jasper Frumau (jfrumau)]

@ Benjamin "For installing plugins you probably need eclipse-platform and eclipse-pde." Probably or certain? I just installed Eclipse and wanted to add the Ruby SDK plugin and ran into the same errors on Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala just now..

[jdahern (jeffery-ahern)]

@rhand, just ran into this problem. Using Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala
I installed eclipse-pde and eclipse-jdt. after that, worked fine

[maheshjagadeesan (maheshj)]

I had this problem too, and I can confirm that installing jdt and pde solves it.

[EzNet (zeroezezero)]

I have to echo this - was 100% true for me too:

"I had this problem too, and I can confirm that installing jdt and pde solves it."

[Anton Danilchenko (danilchenko)]

Ubuntu 9.10 (x32).
I install exlipse-platform and eclipse-jdt (version 3.5.1).
Run exlipse and show error message:

An error occurred while installing the items
  session context was:(profile=PlatformProfile, phase=org.eclipse.equinox.internal.provisional.p2.engine.phases.Install, operand=null --> [R]org.eclipse.pde 3.4.100.v20090527, action=org.eclipse.equinox.internal.p2.touchpoint.eclipse.actions.InstallBundleAction).

Please, help me.

[Niels Thykier (niels-thykier)]

Anton Danilchenko:

Try installing eclipse-pde as well - it is required for most plug-in installations.

~Niels

[Davide Targa (davide-targa)]

Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic
Kernel 2.6.31-14-generic
Gnome 2.28.1

I confirm that the installation of the two packages eclipse-pde and eclipse-jdt fixed the problem.

sudo apt-get install eclipse-pde eclipse-jdt

Davide

[Anton Danilchenko (danilchenko)]

I install eclipse-pdt and remove eclipse-jdt. Work well!

Thanks!

[James Revillini (james-revillini)]

To those of us who thought the above suggestions to install eclipse-pde and eclipse-jdt and/or eclipse-platform were things we should do within the eclipse software > install new software screen, WE ARE WRONG!

We should be opening the terminal and doing

sudo apt-get install eclipse-pde

[Thorsten Kunz (sfire)]

I am not sure if I am suffering from the same bug but the result is the same. I am unable to install lots plugins which renders Eclipse useless to me. For example here is the error I get when trying to install Eclipse Web Developer Tools from http://download.eclipse.org/releases/ganymede/:

I both installed eclipse-pde and eclipse-jdt but the error stays the same.

[Niels Thykier (niels-thykier)]

Hi Thorsten Kunz

eclipse 3.5.X is codenamed Galileo, which is what you get from Ubuntu these days. The update site you list, however, is for Ganymede which was 3.4.X as I recall. Could you retry with the Galileo version?

~Niels

[Thorsten Kunz (sfire)]

Now how stupid was that.... just copy&pasted the site from my existing Eclipse installation into the new one without thinking. Of course it works once I changed it to the Galileo update site.
Thanks a lot for the hint and sorry for not using my brain before posting.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package eclipse - 3.5.1+repack~3-0ubuntu1

---------------
eclipse (3.5.1+repack~3-0ubuntu1) lucid; urgency=low

  * Rebase to packaging from pkg-java/eclipse:
    + Stopped using special hacks and work arounds to find JVMs.
      (Closes: #353360)
      - This removes the need for ~/.eclipse/eclipserc (Closes: #402077)
      - This makes eclipse read eclipse.ini (Closes: #491334)
    + Moved the executable to eclipse-platform from eclipse.
      (Closes: #358594)
    + Put the osgi jar-files into its own separate package. (LP: #102717)
    + Added workaround for gtk problems. (Closes: #552480)
    + Added missing API references. (Closes: #376850)
    + Moved org.eclipse.ant.ui to eclipse-platform. (LP: #477944)
    + Added information about how to create the orig.tar.gz.
      (Closes: #505553)
    + Rewrote symlink script to handle folders that are renamed on different
      archs/builds. (LP: #471859)
    + Move eclipse.ini into /etc (LP: #43162)
  * Drop versioned dependency on libcommons-el-java, libjetty-java,
    libservlet2.4-java; they are not yet available in Ubuntu.

I have installed "ecplise-platform" v3.5.1+repack~1-0ubuntu3 and get this error:

I can only install new eclipse plugins, after i installed the package "eclipse" v3.5.1+repack~1-0ubuntu3

[Chris Morgan (chmorgan)]

Also seeing this error with 'eclipse-platform 3.5.1+repack~1-0ubuntu3' and 'eclipse-rcp' installed.

[Niels Thykier (niels-thykier)]

Hi

A lot of eclipse plugins depend on things provided by eclipse-pde (which is also installed by the eclipse meta-package). Please install eclipse-pde and retry the install attempt.

~Niels

[havoc86 (angelopuglisi86)]

I have the same issue.
I installed eclipse-platform so I have:
$ dpkg -l 'eclipse*' | grep ^ii
ii eclipse-platform 3.5.1+repack~1-0ubuntu3 Eclipse platform without plug-ins to develop
ii eclipse-platform-data 3.5.1+repack~1-0ubuntu3 Eclipse platform without plug-ins to develop
ii eclipse-rcp 3.5.1+repack~1-0ubuntu3 Eclipse Rich Client Platform (RCP)

I got http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/technology/epp/downloads/release/galileo/SR1/eclipse-cpp-galileo-SR1-linux-gtk.tar.gz from eclipse website and it's all fine.

I can't understand why I have to install eclipse-jdt if I don't want it...

[havoc86 (angelopuglisi86)]

Sorry, plugins don't install either. There is no error, but the gui blocks and I can't press "next".
It seems the only way is to have jdt :(

[Mazagatshy (mazagatshy)]

I was trying to install CDT, installing eclipse-pde fixed the problem

[Johnny Weedseed (jho4986)]

I cant seem to find a workaround for this issue. I'm on Karmic w/ eclipse-pde, eclipse-jdt, and eclips-platform all installed but I still cant manage to get the ADT installed. The error I get is this:

Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found.
  Software being installed: Android Development Tools 0.9.5.v200911191123-20404 (com.android.ide.eclipse.adt.feature.group 0.9.5.v200911191123-20404)

I tried adding http://download.eclipse.org/releases/galileo to my update sources but still no luck. Eclipse seems to think that the repository is offline. :( Anyone else still having trouble with this?

[Long Le (lelong88)]

Just thought I should report:

I installed eclipse-pde and that fixed the problem! Many thanks, guys.

[another_sam (anothersam)]

fixed installing eclipse for lucid
http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/all/eclipse/download

[Travis Gockel (travis-gockel)]

The problem I had was that Eclipse didn't come with any of its own software sites in its list, so it doesn't know where to find the things that your packages depend on.

To fix this, I added:

Galileo - http://download.eclipse.org/releases/galileo
The EPP Packages Repository - http://download.eclipse.org/technology/epp/packages/galileo
The Eclipse Project Updates - http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/3.5

After doing this, I could install all other packages without any problems.

[Matthew Talbert (ransom1982)]

For anyone who's still having this issue after installing all of the packages, see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openjdk-6/+bug/445009. That fixed it for me.

[marco noll (marco-noll)]

Thanks Travis, that was it for me, too.
When installing eclipse with software update function it had no sites activated, though most are available (Help - Install new Software - klick on "Available Software sites")

I used Ubuntu 9.04 and tried to install the cdt packages into eclipse.

[titi4u (titi4u)]

I installed eclipse-pde and that fixed my problem too (on Ubuntu 9.10) ! Thank you !

[Håkan Jonsson (hajons)]

Hi I have the same problems on 3.5.1+repack~1-0ubuntu3 . I can't even install eclipse-pde:

[Benjamin Drung (bdrung)]

You should install the Ubuntu package eclipse-pde (apt-get install eclipse-pde).

[Borja López Soilán (NeoPolus) (borjals)]

Thanks Travis G!
My software sites list was empty too, so Eclipse wasn't able to find the required dependencies to install ADT (Android Developer Tools). After adding the URLs you provide, and the ADT URL, I could finally install the ADT plugins.
