Install SmartyPDT 0.0.9.1 in Eclipse Kepler

Question

I just installed the latest version of Eclipse Kepler which is RC3 (found at http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/index-developer.php). I had been using this "smartyPDT" (found at https://code.google.com/p/smartypdt/ ) plugin for all previous versions but i cant seem to install this plugin anymore. I get the error

 Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found.
 Software being installed: Smarty Feature 0.91.0 

 (org.eclipse.php.smarty_feature.feature.group 0.91.0)
 Missing requirement: Smarty Feature 0.91.0 (org.eclipse.php.smarty_feature.feature.group 0.91.0) requires 'org.eclipse.php 0.0.0' but it could not be found

I tried with the old version of smartyPdt which is 0.9.0 and also the 0.9.1. Any idea how to solve this issue or better yet how to get the SmartyPDT to work wih Kepler?

Answer 1

Here's a quick fix -> Just use the juno update site to install a compatible version of PDT with the smarty plugin:

(1) Start eclipse.

(2) Under the help menu, click on install new software.

(3) Click Add.

(4) Input any name, then http://download.eclipse.org/releases/juno/ in the location field, then press ok.

(5) Select the newly added update site from the drop down list, then select Eclipse PDT and install.

(6) After eclipse restarts, installing smartypdt will work now.

Answer 2

These steps just worked for me on Eclipse Kepler:

1. Install Juno version of PDT
2. Install Smarty PDT
3. Remove Juno version of PDT
4. Install Kepler version of PDT

You have latest versions of PDT and Smarty plugins.

To install Smarty PDT to latest PDT use http://p2-dev.pdt-extensions.org/ update site. Feature is under "Text Editors / Productivity tools" category.
