Im trying to install Glassfish tools in eclise Luna but I keep getting this error message:

Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found.
Software being installed: GlassFish Tools 7.3.3.201412231459 (oracle.eclipse.tools.glassfish.feature.group 7.3.3.201412231459)
Missing requirement: GlassFish Tools 7.3.3.201412231459 (oracle.eclipse.tools.glassfish.feature.group 7.3.3.201412231459) requires 'org.eclipse.sapphire.feature.group [8.1.0,8.2.0)' but it could not be found

What should I do? Thanks.

Answer 1

It looks like they somehow messed up the plugin dependencies while packaging the plugin version which is currently referenced by the .

To fix it you have to install an slightly older version of the Glassfish Tools manually. To do this in Eclipse click on Help -> Install new software and put the following URL in the upper input field:

http://download.oracle.com/otn_software/oepe/12.1.3.1/luna/repository

Then click enter, after it has fetched the installable packages, choose the Glassfish Tools package and the Oracle Java EE Tools package (both should be version 7.2.0.xxx) and install. The installation can take a while because the oracle repository site is often slow.
