How to install Hibernate in eclipse

Question

I followed this step by step guide for installing Hibernate

After selecting all the things that is mentioned in the site. I clicked next so eclipse was calculating something (Calculating requirements and dependencies) then I got this error saying that The operation cannot be completed. See the details.

Cannot complete the install because of a conflicting dependency.

Any suggestions to overcome this error? It is happening because of the version of the eclipse(eclipse indigo) software I have installed and it is conflicting with hibernate version?

Answer 1

You seem to have lots of version conflicts whats pointing to a wrong eclipse version.

You probably used the wrong update site. The update site "http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/stable/helios/ " as mentionted is for Eclipse Helios 3.6.

Make sure that you are using "http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/development/indigo/" for your eclipse indigo even though its not stable yet. Otherwise get an Eclipse 3.6.

According to the indigo update site you should be installing "org.hibernate.eclipse.feature 3.4.0.v20111022-0922-H35-M4" however your log shows "Hibernate Tools 3.4.0.v20110729-2006-H171-Final (org.hibernate.eclipse.feature.feature.group 3.4.0.v20110729-2006-H171-Final".
