Error while installing e(fx)clipse plugin on Eclipe

Question

I am trying to install e(fx) plugin on Eclipse Luna 4.4.1 (Mac OS Yosemite).

I am following this steps:

-> Help

-> Install New Software...

-> Click "Add.." button.

-> As "name" type: e(fx)clipse and as "location" type: http://download.eclipse.org/efxclipse/updates-released/1.2.0/site

-> click "Ok".

-> Select the plugin and install it as described at: http://www.eclipse.org/efxclipse/install.html#for-the-ambitious

It begins downloading ... and at the some point, I get this error:

An error occurred while collecting items to be installed session context was:(profile=epp.package.jee, phase=org.eclipse.equinox.internal.p2.engine.phases.Collect, operand=, action=).

My Eclipe Luna 4.4.1 (Java EE Edition) is updated.

Answer 1

I had similar issues when installing e(fx)clipse so I will provide a step-by-step installation guide which worked for me (under Windows). I have installed e(fx)clipse 1.2.0 on Eclipse Luna Service Release 2 (4.4.2) with JDK 8u40.

What did not work for me as well was using the (remote) update sites mentionend in the e(fx)clipse installation guide.

So here we go:

1. Download fresh Eclipse Luna SR2 (e.g. eclipse-java-luna-SR2-win32-x86_64.zip)
2. unzip content -> now you have a folder "eclipse"
3. Download XText runtime ("http://www.eclipse.org/modeling/tmf/downloads/" -> "tmf-xtext-runtime-2.7.3.zip"). I used version 2.7.3. Extract zip-file to folder where your "eclipse"-folder is located. It should write its content to the 'features' and 'plugins' subfolders.
4. Download e(fx)clipse update site assembly ("http://download.eclipse.org/efxclipse/updates-released/1.2.0/?d" -> site_assembly.zip) [note the '?d' at the end of the url to get directory listing]
5. start eclipse and select an empty dummy-workspace. maybe it works with an existing workspace as well, but just to be sure ...
6. Add e(fx)clipse zip-archive as local repository to eclipse: Help -> Install New Software ... -> Add. Name it as you want, e.g. 'e(fx)clipse [local]', press Archive and select site_assembly.zip archive downloaded. finally press ok to create repository.
7. Select "e(fx)clipse [local]" repository, check option "e(fx)clipse install", check "contact all update sites ..." and click next

The rest is just clicking next and finish on the following dialog pages. After a final restart e(fx)clipse works fine.

It should work under Linux or MacOS as well as it is an Eclipse issue.

I hope this guide is helpful.
