Question

i get strange errors, when i try to install the android adt in eclipse 3.7 (indigo). the error occurs, whenever i try to install sth – which is basically EVERYTHING:

Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found. Software currently installed: Shared profile 1.0.0.1308118821836 (SharedProfile_epp.package.java 1.0.0.1308118821836)
Missing requirement: Shared profile 1.0.0.1308118821836 (SharedProfile_epp.package.java 1.0.0.1308118821836) requires 'org.maven.ide.eclipse [1.0.0.20110607-2117]' but it could not be found

so i downloaded eclipse again, deleted the whole workspace, even reinstalled the java sdk… same error 🙁
i also tried to install maven from the “eclipse marketplace”, but i got the same exact error 🙁

could this be due to some registry cleanup stuff? i cleaned the registry using “regseeker”…

ah: btw: win 7 x64 with sp1, running eclipse x68 and java x86 (due to other problems with x64-versions)

someone knows an answer to this?

Answer 1

It looks like a bug in Eclipse 3.7 that has been fixed in Eclipse 3.7.1

Take a look at the workaround documented in the bug comments:

The current workaround is to start from a package that does not include m2e
(like the Eclipse SDK), mark the install read only, and then install into it
the things that you need.
