Eclipse. Installing STS4 causes Eclipse update error on Wild Web Developer XML Tools - spring-tool-suite

I did a clean install of Eclipse. After installing the Spring Tools Suite 4 I get an error when checking for Eclipse updates. Any suggestions?
Deleted ~/{.eclipse,.p2,.sts4,eclipse,eclipse-workspace}
Installed Eclipse Temurin OpenJDK - jdk-17.0.4.1+1 Windows x64
Installed Eclipse 2022-06 Windows x86_64

Installed "Spring Tools 4 (aka Spring Tool Suite 4) 4.15.3.RELEASE
Confirmed default selected features
Restart
Help > Check for Updates
Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found.
Wild Web Developer XML tools 0.14.0.202206022022

I can reproduce this and I am still a bit puzzled about why this happens, but you can solve this by adding an additional update site to your Preferences -> Install/Update -> Available Update Sites:
https://download.eclipse.org/wildwebdeveloper/releases/0.13.6/
Once that update site is around, the Check for Updates can complete.

Python doesn't appear in preference window

I am trying to install Pydev in eclipse Helios on windows 7. I have done that through help/Install new software. When attempting to configure Eclipse to find my installed Python, (Window -> Preferences) the list that appears does not contain Python. When I browse in google about this, someone suggests to run eclipse as administrator. When I try to install the software again, it says that
Software being installed: Pydev Mylyn Integration 0.4.0
(org.python.pydev.mylyn.feature.feature.group 0.4.0)
Missing requirement: Pydev Mylyn Integration 0.4.0
(org.python.pydev.mylyn.feature.feature.group 0.4.0) requires
'org.eclipse.mylyn.context.core 0.0.0' but it could not be found
Why are you using an old version of Eclipse? What I would try first is to download the stable Eclipse version (currently Juno), open it with a new workspace location (to avoid any old config files being loaded) and install PyDev using their suggested method (add the pydev.org/updates software source and select their packages).
If you still experience problems after doing this, let us know about it - personally, I never had similar trouble.

IBM worklight 5 - Unable to install plug-in

I'm trying to run the IBM Worklight plugin in eclipse classic, but I'm running into some errors:
First of all, I want to update eclipse, but it seems to take over 20 hours to do so. Is there another possibility to update to the latest software? I need to do this in order to install ibm worklight.
Secondly, I'm receiving this errorcode:
Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found.
Software being installed: Eclipse 4.2 Dependencies 1.0.0.v20120615_1503 (com.ibm.rational.dependency.eclipse42.feature.group 1.0.0.v20120615_1503)
I'm loading the IBM worklight from a .zip file. Hopefully I have given you enough information to help me.
Update 1: I also tried using eclipse EE for IDE. Then I got this error:
Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found.
Software being installed: AJAX Web Tools 1.0.0.v20120731_1538 (com.ibm.wdt.webtools.ajax.feature.feature.group 1.0.0.v20120731_1538)
Are you loading the developer version of Worklight or a licensed. I would suggest using the Eclipse marketplace and searching for the Worklight plug in. Typically this is a smoother way of installing the plug in. Where did you get the zip files of the plug in? If it was directly from IBM, make sure it is the newest version which is the 5.0.5.1 (crazy versions, I know) If not, let me know.
IBM Worklight supports Eclipse versions 4.2, 3.7, and 3.6. For the Marketplace client use Juno, Indigo or Helios Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers. (taken from: http://marketplace.eclipse.org/content/ibm-worklight-developer-edition#.UTTUNoeH7zs).
If you use other versions of eclipse you'll probably face installation problems.
Also check the "Contact all update sites during install to find required software" option in "Install new software" wizard.
Regarding upgrading eclipse as far as I know there is no way to upgrade eclipse to the next version, you must download and install desired eclipse version.

How to deploy on JBoss AS 7 from Eclipse Juno?

I'm using Eclipse Juno and want to test my Java web app in JBoss AS 7. How do I configure Eclipse so that it starts JBoss AS 7 and deploys the war? Also remote debugging should work. It seems I can't use JBoss Tools as they are only released for the previous Eclipse versions (Indigo and Helios).
Any pointers?
It seems that the current stable releases of JBoss Tools supports Eclipse Indigo (3.7.2) and Helios (3.6.x) as detailed here :
Is there a Beta Update site for Juno ?
This page has the details of the update site for Juno :
Instructions will be posted after the first Juno-compatible milestone
is available.
Until then, just point your Eclipse 4.2 (Juno) installation at this
site to install the latest nightly build. Note that there is no
guarantee of quality with a nightly, nor do we guarantee it won't set
your computer on fire.
Update site : JBoss Tools - Core - Nightly Build Update Site
It bears repeating, that the above is unstable at the moment.
Stability of JBoss Tools Beta for Juno ?
From this page:
Since the first version of Eclipse Juno is arriving soon it is worth
mentioning that JBoss Tools from its updatesite can be installed on
top of Juno.
It is though not guaranteed everything works, we know that especially
Hibernate Dali/JPT integration have issues since here the API has
changed greatly.
But if you are a Juno early-adopter then do please try run JBoss Tools
on it and if you find issues let us know in the forum or on JIRA.
Also, this might be of interest :
Our latest Beta, soon coming CR1 runs on Eclipse Juno (3.8/4.2) except for the Eclipse Dali/JPA integration
I use Eclipse Juno and I installed Jboss Tool for helios version.
Works like a charm.
This stable version of JBoss Tools 4.0.0 works well with Eclipse 4.2 (Juno).
Steps :
Add this URL 'JBoss Tools - Core - Stable Release Update Site ' to site URL's
(Help > Install New Software > Add )
Select the features to install, or click the Select All button.
Click Next, agree to the license terms, and install.
Note : You can also download JBoss Tools as individual zips for offline installation.
Refer :JBoss Tools 4.0.1.Final Stable Release
Please find the below steps to add JBoss Tools for Eclipse Juno
Go to Help -> Eclipse Marketplace
Type JBoss Tools in the Find text box
You can see the JBoss Tools (Juno) icon in the listed items with install button
Click on the install button
Restart your Eclipse to reflect.

Installing GWT plugin for eclipse

I have tried to install the GWT plugin for eclipse helios. when I try to I get this message:
Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could

Tried using both local files and downloading using eclipse. Nothing seems to work.
See https://developers.google.com/eclipse/docs/faq#wstinstallerror
You have to install WST first, and then you'll be able to install the Google Plugin for Eclipse.
This message generally says that there are problems when trying to connect to Helios update server. Because when installing GWT, you need extra package from it.
I met the similar(same ?) problem with Luna 64bit eclipse, when trying to install Google Plugins for Eclipse. This is solution I suggested:
1. Go to Preferences -> Install Update -> Available Software Update.
2. Delete Helios entry. Quit eclipse. Make sure your network is ok. Reopen eclipse. Go back and re-add Helios entry. Click reload.
3. If no Helios entry is found in step 2, then simply add it and no need to do the else.

Issue with updating eclipse

When I select "Help->Check for Updates" in eclipse, I get the following error message at the bottom of the window. From this message "Only one of the following can be installed at once: " it appears I have multiple copies of the same component installed. Under "About Eclipse SDK=>Installation Details" I found at least two instances of Equinox P2 Provisioning: under "Eclipse SDK" and "PHP Development Tools".
Any suggestions on how to get this resolved would be much appreciated.
I'm running eclipse helios 3.6.1 on CentOS 5.2.
Cannot complete the install because of a conflicting dependency.

Update 9/15: I read somewhere that this may be due to a permissions issue and that I should run eclipse as root and perform the update. I was indeed able to complete the 3.6.2 SDK update as root but then afterwards all of my add-on components (e.g. subclipse, PDT, etc.) were gone.
You are getting this message because you are trying to install into a read-only (shared) location. The indication is at this line:
Software currently installed: Shared profile 1.0.0.1288623084982 (SharedProfile_SDKProfile 1.0.0.1288623084982)
The reason why there is a failure is that your install plan would remove an old version of a feature that is part of the shared install. Since a shared install cannot be changed, you get the conflicting dependency.
As it happens, I am working on a patch for exactly this bug. See:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=332158
The fix would not allow you to install in this situation, but it would at least provide a better error message for you.
I got this message or something similar because I had installed Eclipse to my C: drive on Windows 7. Trying to do an update required escalation but Eclipse wasn't prompting me. When I restarted Eclipse using "Run as Administrator", it had the proper permissions to continue and it let me upgrade.
Cannot satisfy dependency:
From: Eclipse SDK 3.6.2.M20110210-1200
It needs a dependency that only exists in the update site for Helios 3.6.2 and you are running 3.6.1. You can either upgrade to the latest version of Helios (or better yet, Indigo) or add the update sites. I don't know the URL's off the top of my head, but you can try this method:
Download a fresh copy of Helios and install it to a separate folder. Open up help>install new software and click "available software sites". Then export the default sites and import them into your existing Eclipse installation. Your plugins should now update correctly.
EDIT: add this to your update sites: http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/3.6/
Note that shared install have now (upcoming Eclipse 4.3, 2013) a way to:
Detect shared install changes:
When Eclipse is running in a read-only folder (also known as shared install) and the read-only installation has changed (e.g. new plugins installed, new version of Eclipse installed), Eclipse will now detect this change and warn that your personal additional plugins have been uninstalled.
Provide a Migration Wizard:
Eclipse now includes a migration wizard to help users through the re-ininstallation of their plug-ins.
This wizard is presented in two situations.
First, when a read-only installation of Eclipse is being changed (i.e. Eclipse is being updated or plugins are added / remove),
second when a new read-only installation of Eclipse is run for the first time.
See also "Shared installs just got better!" for more:
Building on this support, we've also decided to assist users in re-importing their plug-ins from a previous read-only installation.
The reason is simple, many corporations chose to deploy new versions of Eclipse in different folders. This is required to give teams the ability to adopt Eclipse at their own pace, but it also means that when users start using a new Eclipse install, they need to re-install the plug-ins they had installed on their own.
Of course users could use the import/export feature provided by p2, but the time wasted by the user wondering why the plug-ins have vanished and then figuring out what to re-install can be significant, which is why in such situation we are also presenting the migration wizard.
