Can't install Eclipse plugin - eclipse

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. : )

Unable to install PMD in Spring tool suite

I am unable to install PMD plug-in for STS (build on top of Luna).
Could someone please give the steps to do it?
Try this http://sourceforge.net/projects/pmd/files/pmd-eclipse/update-site/ and install for Eclipse 4.
I'm the developer of eclipse-pmd, one of the two PMD plugins you mentioned in your question. If your installing the plugin through the Eclipse Marketplace then you're doing everything right. Once the installation is finished the getting started guide will help you with setting up eclipse-pmd.
You are, however, not the first who has a problem getting eclipse-pmd 1.4 to work with the Spring Tool Suite. Unfortunately we have not yet found the cause of the problem and are still looking for a solution. If you'd like to help or would like to follow the issue's progress then head over to the eclipse-pmd issue tracker at Github.
Update: the issue has been fixed and it had nothing to do with STS.
If your problem is something different then I need more information on what exactly does not work, e.g. does the installation give you an error message or doesthe installation work and you get an error message when running PMD?
Please follow below steps to install PMD in STS.
Download PMD from https://sourceforge.net/projects/pmd-eclipse/files/ & Extract it.
Copy net.sourceforge.pmd.eclipse_1.8.0 folder into ..\sts-bundle\sts-3.9.6.RELEASE\plugins\
then Install eclipse PMD from Eclipse Market Place you will find in Help this option.
Restart your STS.

Eclipse Marketplace not showing up (missing) on 3.7 Indigo

I installed the Eclipse Marketplace via http://download.eclipse.org/mpc/indigo/ and Help>Install New Software... and it's not showing up under the help menu as expected after a complete reboot and I can't seem to find anyone else who is having this problem?
What led me to installing the Eclipse Marketplace in the first place was my attempt to install Eclipse Color Themes (http://eclipse-color-theme.github.com/update/). Eclipse Color Themes did not appear where indicated in it's documentation either so I thought I would attempt installing through the marketplace but I think I may have a larger plug-in related issue however plug-ins like Aptana and other misc. custom plug-ins installed correctly.
I'm running Eclipse on Windows 7 64-bit if that's of any help as well.
I had same problem.
I add http://download.eclipse.org/releases/indigo repo and install MPC and Maven.
I tried #d_pilot's answer which didn't work but found the repo at http://download.eclipse.org/mpc/indigo/
You should be able to change the /mpc/(version)/ to get whatever you want from there, which is nice for all the other eclipse classic versions.

To add some Google search terms:
I had this issue when installing via Ubuntu apt-get package management and ransom bot's answer worked for me.

How can I disable plugin version compatibility checking in Eclipse?

When I try to install Eclipse plugins, I often get an error with details like:
An error occurred while collecting
items to be installed No repository
found containing:
org.eclipse.equinox.concurrent/osgi.bundle/1.0.0.v20090520-1800
This is clearly a bug in Eclipse. The bundle I'm installing doesn't need any special version of anything, it's just a profiler plugin that works in literally any build of Eclipse 3.4. Refusing to install my plugin is not an acceptable course of action. Eclipse should stop showing this message and install the plugin.
I'm not sure exactly what error the Eclipse developers made, but I can see that the version compatibility checker is absolutely strict, and it should not be. Either it is incorrectly evaluating the required bundles, and failing as a result of its own blunder, or the version requirements of the bundles are loosely defined in a way that the version checker does not really understand.
So, is there a way to simply disable this version checker? The thing is crippling my Eclipse install. Frankly, Eclipse would be better if the thing were completely deleted from the application. We only need it to choose the correct version of existing plugins for binding OSGi services. We don't need our development tools to kibitz about whether a plugin seems proper.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

As mentioned in the wiki
The message indicates that the Eclipse provisioning system P2 has found meta data to install a plug-in but can not locate an artifact repository that provides the required downloads
It is suggested to remove update sites and re-add the same update sites, to trigger a refresh, but in your case, it is not your plugin update site which is involved.
There is indeed a bug (236437) with Eclipse 3.4 about "Lost artifact repositories". It has been solved in Eclipse3.5, but if you cannot use that version, there may be a workaround:
1) export the update site listing to bookmarks.xml file (Software Updates->Manage Sites->Export)
2) stop eclipse
3) remove configuration/.settings/org.eclipse.equinox.p2.*.prefs files
4) start eclipse
5) import the bookmarks.xml file (Software Updates->Manage sites->Import) that was exported in step 1
Comment #59 helped me fix my updating problem, thanks!
Though, I think maybe it was enough to just delete the configuration/.settings/org.eclipse.equinox.p2.*.prefs files as I have a feeling that the problem was already resolved before I imported the bookmarks file (things happened a bit in parallel for me here).
Note for Eclipse3.5 users:
I am seeing this in 3.5.1 when trying to install stuff from an old style update
site when I include site.xml:

If I remove site.xml I can install things fine.

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
like the site says:

Problem updating Eclipse Ganymede

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.
