Eclipse Indigo Update from SR1 to SR2 - eclipse

How can I update Eclipse to the newest service release SR2?
I have selected http://download.eclipse.org/releases/indigo as my only update site. At some point during the update I get the following error.

What worked for me was to just download the new eclipse package. Deleted my old eclipse installation directory and unzipped the new archive to the same location. Then I just had to set my workspace directory again and finally I had to install all plugins I previously had installed.
Only small problem was to get the proper version (x86 or x64) because I could not check which Version I had previously installed. So I 1st got x64-eclipse but on that one I couldn't got subclipse to work. The x86-version worked like a charm.
Dunno why x64-subclipse didn't worked because my suite runs on windows-x64 with a x64 jdk but I don't care for the moment because I just write x86 programs atm anyway.

I didn't change anything but it is working now. Looks like someone has finally added all missing dependencies on the update servers.

Eclipse Maven Build Error

I am beside myself with this error and can't make any progress until I get past this issue.
I have the latest STS (Spring Tool Source) 3.7.1 specifically for Eclipse Mars 4.5.1. I deleted all my old versions of STS, and deleted my old .eclipse file as well since I wanted this to be a fresh install. I also went into my c:\Users\Tom Holmes\AppData folders and removed all traces of 'Spring Tool Suite'.
I installed the new latest STS 3.7.1 for Eclipse (Mars) 4.5.1 and pulled down the latest Subclipse for the Eclipse (Mars) 4.5.1. I opened to my old work space which was fine before, and now whenever I try to use STS to run a maven build I get the error listed below.
Error: Could not find or load main class Holmes.sts-3.7.1.RELEASE.configuration.org.eclipse.osgi.25.0..cp.;.C:.Users.Tom
I have tried everything I can think of to re-loading the projects into a new workspace, to deleting the projects and re-downloading them.
Ultimately I find in the workspace .metadata plugins directory under m2e.eclipse.core there are no lifecycle mappings? Does that matter?
How can I re-create this, or is this more of a maven/sts problem?
So, here is what I found ... Since STS 3.7.1, specifically for Eclipse (Mars) 4.5.1 was the issue ... I tried several other versions of STS.
I tried STS 3.7.0 for Eclipse (Mars) 4.5.1 which does work. When I installed this, I immediately got notified that there was an update ready. The update was specifically for the m2e Maven-Eclipse Integration.
I also tried 3.7.0 for Eclipse (Juno?) 4.2.2 which also does work, and again this was looking for an update, and again was for m2e Maven-Eclipse Integration.
My feeling is that, specifically STS 3.7.1 for Eclipse (Mars) 4.5.1 was broken as far as the m2e plugin. Since the m2e changes are embedded in this latest version, something must not have been right. The other versions that I downloaded and installed all worked fine. For any of these versions, there was this upgrade for the m2e (Maven-Eclipse) integration plugin ... but in this case, the update worked.
You know, I like STS, I think it works great. After updating several times, like anything else, it can get "jinky" and then I decide that maybe I should just download a new fresh copy of the tool which usually works great.
Clearly pulling this update into the latest version just didn't mesh well. But now I am up and running, and hopefully SpringSource will fix this issue.
I really hope this helps someone else out.
I would recommend installing a regular Eclipse distribution and then installing STS as a plugin. There should be plenty of instructions online that explain how to do it. I've been using this approach for years and never had any problems.

Trouble launching Eclipse Juno

This is silly, but I am running out of ideas.
I downloaded the latest eclipse (EE) 64 bit package for my mac, untarred it and upon launching it, got an error message. Reopening it, of course did not work.
I tried:
Rebooting
Downloading package from multiple mirrors
Downloading non-EE version fails with same error
Downloading Indigo version - starts up and runs fine.
I have already installed:
Standard Juno installed (non EE). It can run without any issues. Could there be a conflict with anything here?
New non-EE version Juno install fails with the same error as EE version
I am not sure what else to try or how this behavior can be explained. Any ideas?
I am running on 10.8.2 OSX (Mountain Lion) with security settings enabled to
The problem was the Unarchiver. As part of untarring, it corrupted something.
Once tarball was untarred manually, everything worked like a charm. No magic.
I had the same trouble in the same situation.
After the latest update eclipse.ini file was lost in Eclipse.app/Contents/MacOS folder.
I recovered it and restarted eclipse(eclipse -clean). Successfully it started working.
I just ran into the same problem, took forever to figure it out because I just updated eclipse.ini then it was gone again after an update.
A recent bug about Eclipse Update removing the eclipse.ini in Mac OS X (Sept 29, 2012)
"Bug 390756 - Juno SR1 update is removing the eclipse.ini file"
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=390756#c40
See comment: David Williams 2012-10-10 16:15:52 EDT:
Starting fresh from SR0 or SR1 works fine, but starting with the already
broken version (even with eclipse.ini restored) does indeed delete the
eclipse.ini.

Netbeans 7.2 not starting

I recently installed Netbeans 7.2 beta and it worked fine. Then I installed Netbeans 7.2 final release on top of beta and during the installation, Netbeans 7.1 and Netbeans 7.12 were there. Now when I launch Netbeans, it does not go beyond "loading modules" stage. Simply the Netbeans screen disappear few seconds after the launch. Then I did the following.
Uninstalled all the Netbeans versions and re-installed Netbeans 7.2
Deleted AppData/Netbeans folder
Deleted User/.nbi folder
Searched the registry and deleted Netbeans related entries. (But only one entry was found)
Deleted Netbeans Folder in Program Files folder.
Uninstalled and Re-installed in a separate drive.
Uninstalled and Re-installed under another user account.
None of the above worked, the only thing I did not try was to re-install the Windows XP operating system.
It there any option to try before re-installing the operating system?
I was having the same problem .... with netbeans 7.2 ,go to user/appdata/roaming/7.2/modules/ and delete all the jar files except docs,ext,locale folders ... and start the ide again... basically the problem betides when u update the ide after update when u start the ide it stuck to the loading module phase.
First of all, you need to check proper version of JDK is installed.
Netbeans 7.2 requires JDK 1.7, not 1.8.
You can check {Netbeans Install Path}/etc/netbeans.conf. There find netbeans_jdkhome and its value. Make sure you install JDK1.7 and this line netbeans_jdkhome="C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_25" for example.
If not, change the value to proper installation path.
That's some stability issue with NetBeans 7.2
Just Kill and Restart the IDE and it should be fine.
Make sure that right JDK directory chosen in the installation wizard if you not sure you can change it from
C:\Program Files\NetBeans {netbeans version}\etc
you will see a file which is
netbeans.conf
edit it(I am using Notepad++ for that)
At the bottom of the file, you will see a line
netbeans_jdkhome="C:\Program Files\Java\{jdk directory you want}"
make sure it is valid JDK and it is JDK, not JRE
I had the same problem, make sure you have the required JDK version configured during the installation process.
First tried everything to no avail, finally I had to uninstall NetBeans 7, then install NetBeans 8, which also aligned with my JDK 8. This resolved the issue for me. Hope this helps others.
Ah, finally this worked with me on version 11.3, delete this folder, then run the program again
C:\Users\Dell\AppData\Roaming\NetBeans
here my main username is Dell, yours can be different ofcourse
I found out in my Windows installation of Apache Netbeans 12.4, the file 'tctracker.properties' in 'C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\NetBeans\12.4\config\Preferences\org\netbeans\core\windows' was filled with null values. I fixed the issue with letting netbeans generate a new file by moving this '12.4' directory to somewhere else on the disk, starting Netbeans, letting it generate a new 'tctracker.properties'-file, stop it, replace the corrupt file in with this newly generated file and put the '12.4' directory back in place.

Pydev missing after upgrading Eclipse on FreeBSD

I recently updated my ports on my FreeBSD 9.0 release machine and I think eclipse was upgraded due to a port upstream forced Eclipse to be rebuilt. Now Pydev is gone. I tried uninstalling then reinstalling Eclipse, then installing Pydev using pydev.org/updates inside Eclipse. It appears to install ok but I can't create a Pydev project or use the Pydev view. I tried removing my ~/.eclipse folder to force the creation of a new one, and reinstalling Eclipse and Pydev to no avail. What am I doing wrong? I'm running Eclipse Indigo version 3.7.1 build id: R3_7_1
This question was most similar to mine, but the solution didn't work for me. I also tried pointing my install site as: http://update-production-pydev.s3.amazonaws.com/pydev/updates/site.xml per another question on StackOverflow, to no avail.
After some more testing I finally got the newest FreeBSD port to work. I had to launch and install the plugins as root. It didn't work another time I ran it but, this great troubleshooting document helped out. I methodically went through each step one by one, and the logs indicated there was an error on my /usr/local/lib file it was trying to unzip. My user doesn't have write access to that directory but root does. I don't know why it didn't work the last time I ran it as root, perhaps I didn't install the plug-in as root. It works now, so I'm happy. Thanks Fabio, for your input.
I'm not sure how FreeBSD packages things, so, maybe an easy way out would be getting Eclipse from Eclipse.org and installing PyDev on that fresh install (or if you're also doing web stuff, I'd suggest grabbing Aptana Studio 3, which comes with PyDev preinstalled, so, you don't have to worry about configuring it).

Cannot complete the install because of a conflicting dependency

I am using eclipse helios (IDE for Java EE developers) 64 bit latest version
and when I am trying to update it from help>check for updates
I am getting the error:
Cannot complete the install because of a conflicting dependency
Why I am getting this error, and how can I solve it?
You are getting this because there is a conflicting dependency somewhere. For example, if you have plugin A that depends on dependency.X-1.0.0 installed, and try to install plugin B that depends on dependency.X-1.1.0, there is a conflict. When you check for updates, Eclipse will check all plugins and features you have installed in the past. Try to update one thing at a time to identify which update has a conflicting dependency.
Hope this helps!

Starting with ADT bundle 23.0.2, you should be able to update to future versions of ADT.
I couldnt get things working in the 'normal' update screen, but when going to 'About eclipse platform' screen and push the 'installation details' button. I got another screen, where you can select an installed plugin and update it.... in there it worked.
In there I first selected the plugin that seemed to be causing the conflict, and update it. Then the other one conflicting with this one... (the conflict in my case was between the android sdk and my java development tools)
Don't ask me why and what's the difference.... this option might be of help to others...
If running on Windows 7, these errors can often be resolved by running Eclipse as Administrator, then update. https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=339659
I Could resolve it by checking already installed plugins at where it was giving me this error. I just uninstalled all the plugins which had conflicting dependency and try to install the updates. It worked well.!
check the marked area in this linked image
Generally, why it should happen is that while updating plugins lately,they have evolved 2-3 updates and during which plugins have introduced some new functions that have to be installed and also are to be updated. This thing creates conflicts of dependency. Eclipse tries to update which is not already existing/installed and it also tells install it first which creates conflicts.
So, when you uninstall the plugins, now it installs the latest plugins rather then updating. it means you updating eclipse plugins manually(by uninstalling older and installing latest). This may happen if you have skipped 2-3 updates and now looking for latest update.
I agree with Michel.iamit. I tried all other options of updating the ADT and it did not work. With Michel's solution, my environment did not work and it complained about the conflict.
So here is what I did and got it to work:
First uninstall all ADP Plugins.
Then check for updates and it will prompt you regarding the missing plugins.
Select all, accept all licences and proceeed.
Hope this helps someone.

After opening eclipse IDE go to Help ->Install New Software->Add
Name = ADT plugin ,
location = link and select all Developer Tools . After installation completed please restart your ide and all the bugs get solved now.
I resolved this issue by running eclipse as root, and then installing the updates from Help>Install New Software and adding the latest update version to the download list (http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/4.4). Not sure if this is the best way, but it worked to go from Indigo (3.8) to Luna (4.4). I'm doing this on Ubuntu 14.04 x64
