Update eclipse from galileo to helios on kubuntu - eclipse

I installed eclipse galileo from kubuntu package manager. For some reason, there is no helios available yet. Then I tried to manually install helios, but when I run it, I get message: "The Eclipse executable launcher was unable to locate its companion shared library."
Then I opened galileo, and installed PDT from helio update site. But due to some galileo - helios incompatability, I get error:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/eclipse/wst/css/ui/internal/contentassist/CSSStructuredContentAssistProcessor
when I try to open PHP file.
I read on http://wiki.eclipse.org/FAQ_How_do_I_update_Eclipse%3F that I can update to helios if I add helios update site in Window > Preferences > Install/Update > Available Software Sites, which I tried, but when i run "check for updates" it says that there is nothing to update.
Any idea how to get helios PDT installed on kubuntu?

I would recommend that you download the Eclipse IDE for PHP Developers package from here:
http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/
Make sure that you get one that's correct for your OS and pay particular attention to 32/64 bit variation. You have to match 32/64 bitness of Eclipse with 32/64 bitness of your JVM. Run "java -version" to see the type of JVM that you have. If you don't match these up, Eclipse will not start with a message like the one you are seeing.

For anyone having problems with eclipse Helios on Kubuntu or Ubuntu, I would suggest you remove your current installation and follow the instructions I just posted on my blog after finally getting 3.6.2 working with both the Marketplace Client and Subclipse. I just tried posting the whole entry here but it wouldn't allow the number of hyperlinks required to get the install working.

Eclipse error log view missing

I installed eclipse oxygen (4.7.0) "Eclipse IDE for Java Developers".
After installation I mentioned that "error log" view is not available any more.
I restarted eclipse multiple times and used also other workspaces.
How can I get back the error log view?
Did you try resetting whichever perspective you are using ?
(Window -> Reset perspective...)
I have found a solution: Just install Eclipse SDK by
Help->Install New Software...
After this is done restart eclipse and you got back the error log view.
The Error Log View is missing on a default installation of the Eclipse Platform Runtime. I assume this was missing from the "Eclipse IDE for Java Developers" package for Eclipse Oxygen either (I didn't test myself).
For sure, I'm experiencing this problem in 2018-09 and 2018-12 if I install the Eclipse Platform Runtime Binary (the bare-minimum Eclipse runtime I know of).
I opened bug 543120 for this.
I don't have tested the hexadez suggested workaround, because having to install the whole Eclipse SDK just to have this view is too much for me.
Another workaround I found is to install the bundle "Mylyn Context Connector: Eclipse IDE" from the 2018-09 or 2018-12 update sites: it's a much smaller compromise.

Unable to install Groovy/Grails Tool Suite (GGTS) for 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.

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.

WTP for eclipse Galileo

I installed fedora 12 in my machine and got Eclipse installed as a pert of the fedora installation. But i am not getting the dynamic Web Project option since I don't have WTP installed in my eclipse. I am not able to find the exact link/package for my Galileo version. This is what i checked:
http://www.eclipse.org/galileo/projects.php
For the above link, I selected the WTP Common Tools download link, it redirected me to this link:
http://download.eclipse.org/webtools/downloads/
From the above link, i selected the build release 3.4.0, then i got this:
http://download.eclipse.org/webtools/downloads/drops/R3.4.0/R-3.4.0-20120612174739/
From here i am fairly confused what to download for getting the WTP enabled for my eclipse.
Note: I don't want any additional package to be installed unnecessarily. All i want is only WTP
Please provide me the exact link for the same so that i can proceed with it.
Regards,

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:
