#6 Eclipse 4.2 Juno - Unable to install

[Dan Dar3]

First I'd like to thank you for writing the plugin, it was very useful for writing scripts to easily extend the Eclipse functionality for our projects.

I have a problem with installing the Groovy Monkey plugin with Eclipse 4.2 Juno, although it worked fine with 4.2 RC3 (and all prior versions really)...

"Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found.
Software being installed: Groovy Monkey 0.6.1 (net.sf.groovyMonkey.feature.group 0.6.1)
Missing requirement: Groovy Monkey 0.6.1 (net.sf.groovyMonkey 0.6.1) requires 'bundle org.eclipse.update.ui 0.0.0' but it could not be found
Cannot satisfy dependency:
From: Groovy Monkey 0.6.1 (net.sf.groovyMonkey.feature.group 0.6.1)
To: net.sf.groovyMonkey [0.6.1]"

I found this link, in case it might help:

4. Update Manager bundles removed
http://www.eclipse.org/eclipse/development/porting/4.2/incompatibilities.html

Thanks,
Dan

The link you gave did help: I installed 4.2, added the 3.8 update site (http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/3.8), and then installed Groovy Monkey, and it worked. Only 3 bundles from the 3.8 site got downloaded. To be on the safe side I deactivated the 3.8 update site after that.

Thanks a lot fmjrey!

Your suggestion didn't work for me at first (tried it a few times, although it worked fine on another installation) until I checked the "Contact all update sites during install to find required software" in the Install window!

That, and I had to start fresh again from a Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers package, as it failed with an installation I already had with a bunch of other plugins.
