While developing Maven web project, I need to download Maven Eclipse Plugin. I used the url:http://download.eclipse.org/technology/m2e/releases as : eclipse -> Help -> Install New Software -> Click Add.

It gives below error : 

Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found.
  Software being installed: m2e - slf4j over logback logging (Optional) 1.4.0.20130601-0317 (org.eclipse.m2e.logback.feature.feature.group 1.4.0.20130601-0317)

hi varun first you try to install subclipse and then m2e.

Click Help>>Install New Software
Click "Add..." to add a new software site.
name: subclipse
location: http://subclipse.tigris.org/update_1.8.x 

Click Help>>Install New Software
Click "Add..." to add a new software site.
name: m2eclipse  >>Install
location: http://subclipse.tigris.org/m2eclipse/1.0

  • Why would installing Subclipse be needed? m2e does not depend on Subclipse and that is not what the error message is complaining about! – DanielBarbarian Feb 17 '14 at 09:20
  • Following the referenced instruction (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17352485/error-m2e-install-in-eclipse) I kept getting the error: requires 'bundle org.eclipse.osgi 3.10.0'. joy's instruction worked for me. Tanks! – DatamineR Sep 13 '15 at 15:43

This question has been answered before here: Error: m2e Install In Eclipse

In short you need to install slf4j as m2e is depending on it.
