Install maven in eclipse 3.8 in Ubuntu

Question

I have installed "default" eclipse 3.8 in Ubuntu. I would like to install Maven support on it. I do

1) In eclipse, go to "Help->Install New Software"

2) press "Add" in the upper right button in the opened window

3) set the name textbox to be "Maven2Eclipse"

4) set the value textbox to be http://download.eclipse.org/technology/m2e/releases

5) after press OK I got following error:

  Cannot satisfy dependency:
    From: Maven Integration for Eclipse JDT UI 1.5.1.20150109-1820 (org.eclipse.m2e.jdt.ui 1.5.1.20150109-1820)



    Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found.

How to solve this problem?

Solution 1

It sounds like it might be a version issue.

I've never had any problem installing Maven (or SVN, or any related plugins) ... but I don't happen to have a copy of Juno handy to double-check for you.

SUGGESTION:

1. Make sure you're pointing to the Eclipse 3.8 (and only 3.8) repositories

2. Try installing m2e with that repo

http://archive.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops/R-3.8.2-201301310800/

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

ADDENDUM:

Here's what I did on Luna, on CentOS Linux:

1. Eclipse > Help > Install Software (not "Marketplace*)

2. Work With > http://downloads.eclipse.org/releases/luna

3. filter text > m2e, [ENTER]

4. m2e Maven Integration = Y <= the package you want

   m2e sl4j = Y <= the dependency in your error

5. [Finish] => everything installed OK

Same error i was getting today .

Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found.

After spending a lot hours i found that http://download.eclipse.org/technology/m2e/releases will not work . Now steps to solve error is , Open Eclipse -> Help -> Install New Software -> Add http://download.eclipse.org/technology/m2e/releases/1.3 . It should definatly solve your issue

What I did was first of all, running eclipse with root privileges in order to update the environment: Eclipse > Help > Check for Updates. Then I could install maven as said above, Eclipse > Help > Install Software, etc, etc.
