unable to uninstall from eclipse marketplace - eclipse

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.

STS 3.6.4 Gradle tooling not available?

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.

ADT not installing on Eclipse Kepler

I have downloaded Eclipse Kepler and now trying to instal Android ADT. I am facing the below issue.
Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found.
Software being installed: Android Development Tools 22.6.3.v201404151837-1123206 (com.android.ide.eclipse.adt.feature.group 22.6.3.v201404151837-1123206)
Missing requirement: Android Development Tools 22.6.3.v201404151837-1123206 (com.android.ide.eclipse.adt.feature.group 22.6.3.v201404151837-1123206) requires 'org.eclipse.wst.sse.core 0.0.0' but it could not be found
Initially I tried to install using https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/ . I got the error.
Later I downloaded the package and installed from local but getting the above error.
Any suggestions ?
I tried running the eclipse in administrator mode but still getting the same error.
ADT Plugin can't install: Missing requirement: Android Development Tools
Any help is appreciated. Note: In my system, Android SDK is working fine in my Eclipse Indigo working perfectly in my system.
ADT might depend on other plugins, such as Eclipse Web Tools. You need to make sure you checked Contact all update sites during install to find required software. Eclipse will then look up dependencies in other update sites, like the default Kepler one.
I have solved the problem by unzipping the eclipse again from the original zipped file. Right now everything works fine.
But thanks lulian Dragos.

GWT Plugin for eclipse 3.7(helios). i am getting error

After selecting google plugin for eclipse and SDK and proceeding next . I am getting error

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.

M2e is not visible in Eclipse

I'm trying to install m2e plugin to enable maven integration but it looks like plugin is not installed:
What I do:
Maven is already installed in the system and 'mvn --version' works
Help -> Install New Software -> Indigo->General Purpose Tools - m2e
Eclipse restart of course
There is no mention of Maven in eclipse. Not in Window->Preferences, not when creating new project. Nowhere.
Tried different plugin repositories, tried Eclipse Marketplace - nada.
When running Eclipse I get these errors:
org.eclipse.m2e.logback.configuration: SLF4J logger factory is not an instance of LoggerContext: org.slf4j.impl.SimpleLoggerFactory
2 [org.eclipse.jdt.internal.ui.text.JavaReconciler] INFO org.mortbay.log - Logging to org.slf4j.impl.SimpleLogger(org.mortbay.log) via org.mortbay.log.Slf4jLog
Not sure what to do at this point.
Would be grateful for any help!

I don't recall what it is called in Indigo. I recently updated to Juno and imported my plugins with no issue. Below is a full list of plugins that I have installed. I'd recommend you uninstall what you have, then search for "Maven Integration". Install that and any other related plugins you will need (i.e. SCM clients).
It is builtin with Indingo, no !?
(Or maybe Indigo WTP)
I am quite sure because I had to re-install Indigo WTP several times

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:
