Question

When installing tools for AWS in Eclipse, I encountered the following error:

Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found.
Software currently installed: Amazon SimpleDB Management 1.0.0.v201111161400 (com.amazonaws.eclipse.datatools.enablement.simpledb.feature.feature.group 1.0.0.v201111161400)
Missing requirement: Eclipse Data Tools Platform Amazon SimpleDB UI Plug-in 1.0.0.v201111161400 (com.amazonaws.eclipse.datatools.enablement.simpledb.ui 1.0.0.v201111161400) requires ‘bundle org.eclipse.datatools.sqltools.sqlscrapbook 1.0.0’ but it could not be found
Cannot satisfy dependency:
From: Amazon SimpleDB Management 1.0.0.v201111161400 (com.amazonaws.eclipse.datatools.enablement.simpledb.feature.feature.group 1.0.0.v201111161400)
To: com.amazonaws.eclipse.datatools.enablement.simpledb.ui [1.0.0.v201111161400]

What is the problem here and how do I resolve it? Sorry, but I am new to Eclipse and Java dev in general. Could the following message be the key?

requires ‘bundle org.eclipse.datatools.sqltools.sqlscrapbook 1.0.0’ but it could not be found

Answer 1

I found that the answer Jerinaw sourced from the AWS forum didn’t work for me. I had to do it a little different (Indigo Java EE IDE) :

Details:

1. Launch the new software installer in Eclipse (Help -> Install New Software…)

2. In the "Work with:" field fill in the url according to your Eclipse version (if you’re using indigo, kepler, or luna, just replace mars with your version’s name in the below url).

   http://download.eclipse.org/releases/mars

The address should already be in the "Work with:" drop-down.

3. Click on the check box next to "Database Development" (click next, accept license, click finish, should be prompted for restart).

4. Launch the new software installer and in the "work with:" field enter http://aws.amazon.com/eclipse

5. Select the packages you please and install
