Error installing Eclipse plugin

Post by wylovan »

Greetings All,

I've been a longtime user of oXygen, but I'm having trouble upgrading Eclipse 3.4.1 to 10.0. I am receiving the following error:

Code: Select all

An error occurred while collecting items to be installed
No repository found containing: com.oxygenxml.editor/osgi.bundle/10.0.0
No repository found containing: com.oxygenxml.editor/org.eclipse.update.feature/10.0.0
This instance of Eclipse previously had oXygen 9.3 installed. When I first tried to upgrade (without uninstalling 9.3) I received the error, and I have subsequently uninstalled 9.3 to no avail.

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Hello,

I can install the Oxygen 10.0 plugin in Eclipse 3.4.1 build ID M20080911-1700 without problems. What Eclipse distribution do you have? Is it Eclipse IDE for Java Developers, Eclipse Classic, etc?

Sorin,

Thanks for your reply. I'm using Eclipse classic. Same version as you:

Version: 3.4.1
Build id: M20080911-1700

Beyond the basic Eclipse install I've added a everything in Web Tools and Subclipse.

Again, thanks for the assistance.

Hello,

In Eclipse Classic 3.4.1 I have more plugins installed by default:

In your list of plugins I do not see plugins required by Oxygen plugin like: OSGi System Bundle (the ID org.eclipse.osgi), Core File System (the ID org.eclipse.core.filesystem), Core Runtime (the ID org.eclipse.core.runtime), etc. The Oxygen plugin cannot run if the required Eclipse core plugins are not installed. Did you download the Eclipse kit from the Eclipse website?

Hi Sorin,

That pic was just the "Installed Software" tab of the "Software Updates" dialog. I do see both org.eclipse.osgi and org.eclipse.core.filesystem in the "About Eclipse SDK Plug-ins" dialog. The full list of plugins is HERE (image is a little over 1 MB). Thanks again.

Hello,

Start Eclipse with the -clean parameter and try again to install the Oxygen 10.0 plugin with the Software Updates method. If you get the same error message try with the zip distribution of the Oxygen plugin.

Thanks Sorin. I have it resolved now... Using the -clean parameter did not fix the problem, and I was reluctant to do the zip install, so I did a bit more searching and stumble across this bug in the Eclipse bugzilla. The fix was to remove the repository from Eclipse and recreate it.

Thanks,
Wyatt
