STS 3.6.4 Gradle tooling not available? - spring-tool-suite

I've just downloaded Spring Tool Suite 3.6.4 (201503100339, Eclipse Luna SR1 (4.4.2)) on Windows 8. I'm attempting to import an existing Gradle project, but this option is not available within the import menu.
Playing a hunch that Gradle support may have been removed, I sought to install it from the Eclipse Marketplace. But when I found "Gradle Integration for Eclipse (4.4) 3.6.4.RELEASE" the only option available was "uninstall", implying that it was already installed.
Is there something I need to do to "Activate" the Gradle tooling?

The Gradle tooling is not installed by default if you download an STS distribution. You should be able to install it from the Eclipse marketplace or the dashboard.
If you are not sure whether this is installed or not, you can check that in the about dialog. There is an option to inspect the installation details.

#Martin - I repeated my last steps, and this time "Gradle Support" installed without incident. I have no clue what is different now, but the error about "connector not available" went away. I now have Gradle support. Thanks for your help! - k

I checked the issue with the Marketplace again and it looks like a limitation of the Eclipse Marketplace client at the moment.
More details:
The Gradle IDE contains three features that should be installed. One of these features is the dashboard - which comes with STS by default. It looks like the marketplace client checks the already installed features and whenever it finds one of the features of the item to be installed in the existing installation, it enables the "uninstall" button. This seems to be the reason why the Gradle IDE entry from the Marketplace is listed as "uninstall".
I filed a bug for this against the Eclipse Marketplace. Lets see that happens. As a workaround, you should be able to install the Gradle tooling from the dashboard or the STS update site directly.

Unable to install IBM Bluemix Eclipse plugin for Luna and Mars

I am tried to install IBM Bluemix eclipse plugin for Eclipse Mars from Eclipse Market place. Eclipse listing all required libraries and dependencies but installation its showing following error as shown in image.
Note:
I was able to download install other eclipse plugins like PyDev,Subclipse etc.
Any suggestions or links? Thank you :)
Which version of Eclipse are you using? I just tried with the JEE Package for Mars SR1: https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/eclipse-ide-java-ee-developers/mars1. Then, search for the Eclipse marketplace entry from Eclipse and do the install.
and I can complete the install successfully. It may just be a temporary outage on the server. Would you mind to try it again?
If the problem still exist, can you list out the details of your setup, e.g. Eclipse package that you start with, platform, steps to reproduce, etc. so I can try to reproduce the problem.

Are you installing plugins using the eclipse marketplace? If you're installing plugins by manually entering repositories make sure they have a plugin that's compatible with your version of eclipse.
As Glenn noted, you need to be very careful with versions here.
It is best to install any ecplise pulgin using an update site. For Eclipse 3.7, you would use http://dl.google.com/eclipse/plugin/3.7 for the GWT update site.
If you were to do a manual install, then make sure to download the correct archive, in your case 3.7, listed here: https://developers.google.com/eclipse/docs/install-from-zip
If the installation is giving you trouble, try restarting Eclipse and run it as administrator. This could be the case if Eclipse is installed in a shared or system directory (e.g. "Program Files").
If you have selected the Android development kit part of the GPE then you need to separately install the Android SDK. But you don't need that if you are only doing GWT development. Just uncheck that.

unable to uninstall from eclipse marketplace

I've got a problem regarding the eclipse-marketplace (Juno):
I've installed the Android Configurator for M2E via marketplace.
Eclipse resolved following dependencies:
Android Configurator for M2E
Android Development Tools
m2e
Everything was fine until I decided to uninstall it again.
Eclipse told me:
"m2e - Maven Integration for Eclipse" cannot be fully uninstalled because other installed >software requires it. The parts that are not required will be uninstalled.
I confirmed and uninstalled the two other Android related modules.
Unfortunately my marketplace is in a weird state now:
When I try to reinstall Android Configurator for M2E, eclipse pretends that it's still installed and only offers me the option to uninstall it again.
I'm stuck in an infinity loop, please help :-)
Go to Help > About > Installed Software.
Fully expand all the nodes
Check for which nodes also list m2e as a dependency
You should be able to see which top-level feature is also requiring m2e to be installed. It could be that your top level product (if you are using the Eclipse For Java Developers) is requiring m2e and you can't simply uninstall it.

SONAR Integrated with Eclipse

Am working on sonar integrated with eclipse using ant
But when i go "right click project-->configure-->associate with sonar" nothing happens!!
My ant version is 1.7.1
Eclipse is Helios(3.6)
sonar version is 3.4.1
Welcome all your favours..........
Sonar Eclipse has nothing to do with Ant, it's really independendent.
You should follow the different steps listed in the documentation page. Most notably, you need to have a Sonar server up and running somewhere (on your local computer or elsewhere) and you must make sure that you already launched an analysis of your project, which you can browse on Sonar Web application. If not, you'll never be able to associate your project in Eclipse.
Once you have a first analysis of your project on the Sonar server, then you need to configure the URL of your server in the Eclipse settings. Only after this, you'll be able to associate your project with Sonar.
This might have to do with your plugin version. As described in the docs Version 3.0 is only compatible with Eclipse 3.7 and up.
I would suggest you either upgrade your eclipse or you downgrade your plugin.

Eclipse Java EE - Galileo - Unable to view plugins

I am new to Eclipse so I am having a hard time troubleshooting this problem. I have a new installation of Eclipse Java EE - Galileo on Windows, and I am unable to see any changes made in the IDE after installing plugins. I have verified that the plugins are installed via installation details, but see no changes made.
For example, after installing the maven integration plugin m2eclipse I go to File->New->Project ... and I have no option for maven. After installing the QuickRex plugin I have no view for it etc.
I have tried re-installing the plugins, re-installing Eclipse, and starting Eclipse with the -clean option, but nothing has resolved the issue.
Any ideas? Thanks!
Ok. This is just a wild guess but could you start over with a fresh install and make sure that you uncheck the option Contact all update sites during install to find required software as shown below:

I faced a similar problem (on another platform than yours), some updates were "disabling" all my plugins. Not checking this option allowed me to work around this issue.
Follow-up: You'll need to install that Zest stuff manually from the GEF update site:
