Problem updating Eclipse Ganymede - eclipse

I am predominately a .NET developer so forgive me if I am missing something obvious. I use Eclipse Ganymede (3.4.0) for Blackberry development.
I have Blackberry JDE Plugin 4.3.0.8 installed and would like to install 4.5.0. I try using Help -> Software Updates to get it but get the following error:
"Cannot launch the Update UI. This installation has not been configured properly for Software Updates".
Any ideas on how to fix this? Failing that any ideas how to install 4.5.0 without using the Update facility in eclipse? I have installed the 4.5.0 component back but it has not put it into eclipse, just installed files in c:\Program Files\Research In Motion.
I'd rather not do a fresh installation of eclipse!

Download them manually here: http://na.blackberry.com/eng/developers/javaappdev/javaeclipseplug.jsp

The first idea that comes to mind is that Eclipse doesn't know where to look for updates.
Go to Help->Install New Software (not update)
Click on Available Software Sites
There you can Add, Enable/Disable software sites(repositories)

Just like Jamie said, download Component pack from Blackberry site, and install them with Help->Software Updates->Available Software->Add Site->Archive
UPDATE And talking about the error, see
Getting the message “Cannot start the update ui…” when trying to run the update UI in Eclipse

Thanks for the links guys but I ended up downloading a fresh copy from the website, the archive that I had must have been corrupt somehow because I tried using it again and had the same issue.

unable to install google plugin for eclipse juno

I am trying to install google gwt tool on eclipse for that i go to HELP--->Install new Software---> in text area i used this link
Google Update Site for Eclipse 4.2 - http://dl.google.com/eclipse/plugin/4.2
then whenever i checked Google Plugin for eclipse (required) and hit next it shows
Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found.
Software being installed: Google Plugin for Eclipse 4.2 3.2.4.v201306061638-rel-r42

i didn't understand what and where is the problem coming .
I was having the same problem just now trying to download Google Plugin for Eclipse. I was running into the same error where it was complaining about:
"Cannot complete install because one or more required items could not be found.
Software being installed: Google Plugin for Eclipse 3.7 bla bla bla..."
This question is a duplicate (Installing GWT plugin with Eclipse) but Ill lay it out for you anyways :)
I followed these steps that I found on https://developers.google.com/eclipse/docs/install-eclipse-4.2 and it worked fine :) The only thing different is that I downloaded from http://dl.google.com/eclipse/plugin/4.2 INSTEAD of from (as when was throwing an error) http://dl.google.com/eclipse/plugin.3.7. When I used 3.7 I got the same error you are having now. 4.2 it's all gravy.
Also, I am doing this on a fresh Juno installation. Like, I literally downloaded it from the Eclipse site right 2 minutes ago, installed it, ran an update (there was one update for Eclipse Google Plugin) and then I i got the errors and fixed the issue.
In fact, I got my answers here: Installing GWT plugin with Eclipse so thank this dude. Not me.
Good Luck!
Your installation is missing the org.objectweb.asm bundle. I'm a little surprised that this is not installed by the google plugin by default. There are many places to get it, but I know you can get the bundle from orbit:
http://download.eclipse.org/tools/orbit/downloads/drops/R20130517111416/repository/
Copy the link and add it to your list of update sites. Then try to install the google plugin again. Make sure that you have "Contact all update sites" checked.
Might be you have Indigo Eclipse and trying for Juno Eclipse plugin.
Refer to link https://developers.google.com/appengine/docs/java/tools/eclipse
Look at plugin links for Indigo and Juno and act accrodingly.
If the plugin installation failed, you may have problems with the Eclipse version installed that might be outdated (my problem).

You get the error if you are trying to update an Eclipse/RCP application running from within Eclipse (Run or Debug).
If this is the case, have a look in the launch configuration. On the "Configuration" tab, you can find a setting "Support software installation in the launched application". Check this :-)
Are you on Mac?
This bug thread on eclipse discussed a similar issue
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=305758
It was to do with the unarchiver app on Mac.

cannot install Google plugin in Eclipse

I want to install Google plugin, GAE and GWT on Eclipse i tried in different ways by trying to install all at once and only one at a time but i get this error
Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found.
Software being installed: Google Web Toolkit SDK 2.3.0 2.3.0.r36v201105191508 (com.google.gwt.eclipse.sdkbundle.e36.feature.feature.group 2.3.0.r36v201105191508)
Missing requirement: Google Plugin for Eclipse 3.6 2.3.2.r36v201106211634 (com.google.gdt.eclipse.suite.e36.feature.feature.group 2.3.2.r36v201106211634) requires 'org.eclipse.pde.core 0.0.0' but it could not be found
i could install Android without any trouble.
can anybody help me to solve this?
Thanks !!!
EDIT : i am using Eclipse 3.6 - Helios
I had this problem as well, and neither running as administrator nor changing the eclipse directory permissions fixed the issue for me.
Eventually, I discovered that the Eclipse download site (http://download.eclipse.org/releases/juno) was disabled in my "Available Software Sites" preferences. Enabling it solved the issue for me.
I got same problem and solved by launching Eclipse as administrator.
I post this for people who face this error in future.
Firstly I changed permissions on the directory where I put Eclipse as CobaltBlue suggest but it didn't work. Next I launched Eclipse as administrator and tried again, then installation is completed!
I'm not sure it is necessary to change the access permission of the directory of Eclipse.
I am using Eclipse Juno and OS is windows 7.
If you're running on Windows, check the permissions on the directory where Eclipse was installed. Test if this is the problem by adding the user "Everyone" and give them read/write/execute access to that directory. If it works, then that was the issue.
Also, if you are not running Eclipse as Administrator, you'll want to update the shortcut you use to launch Eclipse and select "Run as Administrator."
The part of the error message that says following looks kind of odd to me
requires 'org.eclipse.pde.core 0.0.0'
If 0.0.0 is the required version of org.eclipse.pde.core plugin then something must be wrong in the dependencies being detected by eclipse's dependency resolution system. 0.0.0 just doesn't seems to be a valid version.
What update site are you using? Is it the correct one for eclipse 3.6?

Installing eclipse Web Tools Platform (WTP) - update site does not work?

I'm trying to install the WTP (web platform tools) to my Eclipse installation so I can get the XSL transformations working. The base Eclipse they installed for me here was the plain Java IDE (the splash screen says "Ganymede" if that means anything). Looking at this site, the URL to get the download should be here: http://download.eclipse.org/webtools/updates/ ...But when I give that URL to the Eclipse update manager, I get an error telling me: "No repository found at http://download.eclipse.org/webtools/updates/"
Anyone else had this problem? Anyone know what might be up? Anyone know how to get the xsl-transform plugin installed?
EDIT:
I should have mentioned before that I want to find a way to do this without installing any new instances of Eclipse. This process will eventually be sent to several other developers who already have Eclipse (same version that I'm testing with) and I'd rather just do an in-place upgrade rather than have everyone go and install a new product.
UPDATE:
I found another plugin, Xcarecrows 4 XML which can also do XSL transforms. The interface is ugly and seems more than a little quirky, but it's also a small download, and at least it runs and transforms. Unless I can find an easy way to get WTP working, I'll probably just stick with this.
You can try and install WTP through the main Ganymede update site:
http://download.eclipse.org/releases/ganymede/
Or you can download the latest Java EE bundle and use that instead of your current Eclipse
(do NOT unpack it on top of your current Eclipse, but unpack it elsewhere, to test that second installation: it will come with WTP inside)
Note: check then "How do I start Eclipse" to point to your existing workspace in order to see all your previous project in your new Eclipse installation.
As mentioned in your link, XSL Tools is now part of WTP (for Eclipse 3.5 Galileo), and that may explain why your Eclipse Ganymede (3.4) might not interpret correctly the P2 update site for WTP (P2 being the new Eclipse provisioning mechanism introduced late in the 3.4 release cycle)
For Eclipse 3.5, you have an XSL Tools installation illustrated here:
But Eclipse3.4 is more likely to be compatible with XSLT0.5 and you will need a separate installation, because "XSL Tools" wasn't yet part of WTP.
I am not sure, however, where to find such an installation package within the Eclipse projects.
Use the following update site :
For Juno :
http://download.eclipse.org/webtools/repository/juno/
For Indigo :
http://download.eclipse.org/webtools/repository/indigo/
I'm assuming you don't have any firewall exceptions for Eclipse right?
The site for the WTP update is indeed the one you've listed. Maybe post a screenshot? You've added it specifically to your remote update site list?
Either way try a manual update which should be more reliable and get you up and running for now.
All-In-One Update (Eclipse IDE included):
Go to the Eclipse Download site.
Grab the all-in-one package: Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers
Install, have a coffee and enjoy. (WTP is included)
Manual Update your existing installation of Eclipse:
Download the applicable WTP source package to your desktop
Shutdown Eclipse
Extract the package to your Eclipse installation directory
Startup Eclipse. (WTP is now available)
Follow the steps in the FAQ at http://wiki.eclipse.org/WTP_FAQ#How_do_I_install_WTP.3F .
Are you behind a proxy? If so, you need to make sure you configure your proxy settings in Eclipse.
Window > Preferences
General > Network Connections
Ok, I can probably get it working if I do a clean install of Eclipse. I can do that on my machine, but not the other team members' machines (at least not without going through many emails and paper work) so I'm going to say that XCarecrows 4 XML is the solution. It is able to do XSL transformations in Eclipse 3.4 and doesn't require anything else to be installed. Since XSLT is all I need, the plugin will do.
you can use the marketplace:
https://marketplace.eclipse.org/content/eclipse-java-ee-developer-tools-0

Can't install Eclipse plugin

I'm trying to install an Eclipse plugin for Mylyn/Fogbugz, and I get the following error when I try either EclipseBugz or Foglyn:
Cannot find a solution satisfying the following requirements Match[requiredCapability: org.eclipse.equinox.p2.iu/org.eclipse.swt
I'm using Eclipse 3.4.1
what other update sites do you have enabled in your Eclipse installation?
I had similar problem when upgrading from older Mylyn, and found out that it helps to disable other updates sites. When installing new plugins, or even updating old ones, Eclipse has a tendency to contact all enabled update sites. I don't know what exactly it is trying to do, but it helped me to disable all sites except one I wanted to use.
Btw, Eclipse 3.5M6 has option to use only selected update site -- it is great help when updating/installing plugins. I cannot wait to see Eclipse 3.5 final released, just for this feature.
Eclipse plungins require Equinox UI for dependency.Please read Equinox installer .I hope can help you. : )
