Plugins won't install on Eclipse

Question

I am trying to install subversive and checkstyle onto Eclipse IDE for Java Developers however the following message appears:

"Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found. Software currently installed: Shared profile 1.0.0.1316138460759 (SharedProfile_epp.package.java 1.0.0.1316138460759) Missing requirement: Shared profile 1.0.0.1316138460759 (SharedProfile_epp.package.java 1.0.0.1316138460759) requires 'org.maven.ide.eclipse [1.0.100.20110804-1717]' but it could not be found"

What does it mean? Is there another way to install them as I need both plugins for my course.

Please help and thank you :)

Try running Eclipse as administrator, I just had the same issue and this worked for me.
