Unable to install Groovy/Grails Tool Suite (GGTS) for Eclipse - eclipse

Am trying to install Groovy/Grails Tool Suite (GGTS) for Eclipse into my Eclipse installation.
version of Eclipse installed:
Version: Luna Service Release 1a (4.4.1) - Windows 32-bit.
When I attempt to install ggts from the eclipse marketplace either by using the Eclipse Marketplace
menu option or by using the ggts drag to install button, the following window/error message is
obtained after selecting Confirm:
The following solutions are not available Groovy/Grails Tool Suite (GGTS) for Eclipse 3.6.4.RELEASE,
Proceed with the installation anyways?
How/can it be installed?
Thanks.

My bad. I forgot to put in the right (and versioned) update site into the Marketplace entry definition after the 3.7.0 release went out. This is fixed now. You should be able to install GGTS from the Marketplace again. Sorry for the inconvenience and thanks for pointing me at this here.
Keep in mind that there is no new GGTS version that is compatible with Eclipse Mars. The last version is 3.6.4 and is compatible with Eclipse 4.4 and previous versions.

Cannot install e(fx)clipse in Eclipse Luna

I am trying to develop a desktop JavaFX application on Windows Vista 32-bit. For this I have installed Eclipse Luna and Java 8. Out of the box the following is underlined in red by eclipse as an error:
import com.sun.javafx.application.Application;
I found one of the solutions is to install e(fx)clipse. But when I go to
Help, Install New Software..., I select the Luna repository and then type e(fx)clipse as outlined on
http://www.eclipse.org/efxclipse/install.html
but nothing shows up and cannot proceed.
What should I do?
Thanks.
e(fx)clipse is not part of Eclipse Luna (4.4). You need at least Eclipse Mars (4.5), but for security and other reasons, you should not use outdated software.

Is the Eclipse SonarQube plugin compatible with Eclipse Mars?

I cannot install SonarQube plugins in Eclipse Mars (tested with Java, RCP and Modeling versions).
When I search for SonarQube in 'Help' / 'Eclipse Marketplace' then the result list is empty. I can click at the link 'Browse for more solutions' which opens the marketplace site on the internet. There, I see SonarQube with the link 'Install' but when I click on it I get the error "The following solutions (SonarQube) are not compatible with this version of Eclipse"!
Any ideas how the problem can be solved?
Eclipse SonarQube plugin 3.4 is definitely compatible with Eclipse Mars.
Unfortunately, you cannot install it from the Eclipse Marketplace - probably because we need to update the compatibility information there. As mentionned by Freddy in his comment, SONARCLIPS-446 was created for this purpose.
Meanwhile, please follow the instructions described on "Install SonarQube in Eclipse" to manually install the plugin.
UPDATE July 21rst, 2015: the Marketplace has been updated so anybody using Mars can install the plugin through the Marketplace.
I'm sorry, but SonarQube is not really compatible.
If you install SonarQube 3.4.0 from marketplace to a brand new mars (eclipse-jee-mars-R-win32-x86_64.zip) and then start the eclispe with -clean, the menuitem marketplace is gone.
Seems that there are not some other plugins don't match.

Howto use PMD plugin in Eclpise 4.3 running on Java 8

PDM brings xerces jar which is not compatible with java 8 - this has been reported here: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=432118
This is the PMD plugin that I wouyld like to use: http://sourceforge.net/projects/pmd/files/pmd-eclipse/update-site/
Is there a way to install PMD in eclipse 4.3/4.4 on java 8?
https://sourceforge.net/p/pmd/bugs/1210/ shows current status of the fix (closed), and has the repository location to install the current snapshot version, and says the fix will be released in 4.0.4. I added the updatesite to my install locations and installed the snapshot (dated 7/29), now I have my PMD preferences/menus/perspective back in Luna 4.4 running JDK8. Thanks so much for the trunk tip.
This is a PMD bug - they have already fixed it in trunk, I've tested it and it works fine. The problem was, that it had transitive dependency to old xerces lib.
Had PMD plugin installation problem with Eclipse Luna 4.4.2 when I installed PMD directly from Eclipse marketplace.
To solve this,
I uninstalled the plugin and used the following link to choose 4.4 eclipse PMD plugin.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/pmd/files/pmd-eclipse/update-site/
It worked!
This is the Solution:
If you have previously installed a version of the PMD Eclipse plugin prior to November 2012, then you should remove/uninstall it first. To install the PMD for Eclipse plugin:
In Eclipse, click on Help -> Install New Software...
Click on Add..
Enter the following:
Name: PMD for Eclipse Update Site
URL: http://sourceforge.net/projects/pmd/files/pmd-eclipse/update-site/
and click OK.
You should see PMD for Eclipse 4. Select the checkbox next to it and click Next >.
You'll need to accept the license and confirm you want to install a plugin that is not digitally signed. Go ahead and install it anyway.
Restart eclipse

Dependency fail installing egit on Eclipse indigo

I have this problem trying to install EGit in Eclipse Indigo on a Ubuntu 12.04:
Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could
not be found. Software being installed: EGit Plug-in Import Support
2.3.1.201302201838-r (org.eclipse.egit.import.feature.group 2.3.1.201302201838-r)
Missing requirement: EGit Plug-in Import Support 2.3.1.201302201838-r (org.eclipse.egit.import.feature.group
2.3.1.201302201838-r) requires 'org.eclipse.team.core 3.6.100' but it could not be found
This is the complete Eclipse version as shown in "About" dialog:
Version: 3.7.2
Build id: I20110613-1736
I am using the default egit updates sources as it comes with Indigo installation:
http://download.eclipse.org/egit/updates
I press "Select All" button for update, but it keeps showing that error. I have also take care of update everything before, but it continues failing.
Any ideas?
Thanks a lot in advance.
Your Eclipse version needs to be 3.8 or higher. You must have installed Indigo from the Software center in Ubuntu or Synaptic as that is what would have been installed. You can download Juno which would work for you from the Eclipse Project. It is a tar.gz that you just unarchive into the directory you want and run it. You can use the same workspace.
Uncheck the EGit Import Support feature when selecting what to install. It is optional and appears to be not supported in indigo.
