Installing Subclipse 1.8 in Eclipse 3.8

Question

I am trying to install Sublclipse 1.8 under Eclipse Classic 3.8.2 (M20130131-0800) under OS X 10.8.3. This results in the error message: ``` An error occurred while collecting items to be installed session context was:(profile=SDKProfile, phase=org.eclipse.equinox.internal.p2.engine.phases.Collect, operand=, action=). No repository found containing: osgi.bundle,org.eclipse.draw2d,3.9.0.201212170307 No repository found containing: osgi.bundle,org.eclipse.gef,3.9.0.201212170307 ``` How can I obtain the missing plugins? I have set up http://subclipse.tigris.org/update_1.8.x as an update site, which according to the Subclipse page is compatible with Eclipse 3.8. In the install dialog I have selected all the available plugins in both the "Subclipse" and the "SVNKit" group. Installing GEF from the update site http://download.eclipse.org/releases/juno does not work either: ``` An error occurred while collecting items to be installed session context was:(profile=SDKProfile, phase=org.eclipse.…

Accepted Answer

The Subversion Revision Graph optional feature needs GEF, so if it is not necessary for you, you can skip installing it. Otherwise, things to try:

- Install Subclipse simply from Marketplace, as the Installation Instructions suggest. (If your distribution doesn't contain it, you can install Marketplace itself from the Juno update site.)

- The Juno update site http://download.eclipse.org/releases/juno contains GEF, make sure it is among your available software sites. You can also try the GEF milestone update site: http://download.eclipse.org/tools/gef/updates/milestones
