Problem installing ShellEd plugin in Eclipse Helios

Question

When I try to install ShellED plugin for Eclipse:

Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found. Software being installed: ShellEd 2.0.0.201007201532-1--773533H735D97 (net.sourceforge.shelled.feature.group 2.0.0.201007201532-1--773533H735D97) Missing requirement: ShellEd Core 0.0.0.201007201532 (net.sourceforge.shelled.core 0.0.0.201007201532) requires 'bundle org.eclipse.dltk.core [2.0.0,3.0.0)' but it could not be found Cannot satisfy dependency: From: ShellEd 2.0.0.201007201532-1--773533H735D97 (net.sourceforge.shelled.feature.group 2.0.0.201007201532-1--773533H735D97) To: net.sourceforge.shelled.core [0.0.0.201007201532]

Could not install org.eclipse.dltk.core? Do you know where to find it?

Answer 2

When I install newest ShellEd in eclipse Indigo, I got error like this:

Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found.
  Software being installed: ShellEd 2.0.2 (net.sourceforge.shelled.feature.group 
2.0.2)Missing requirement: ShellEd Core Plug-in 2.0.0.201207181255
 (net.sourceforge.shelled.core 2.0.0.201207181255) requires 'bundle
 org.eclipse.dltk.core [4.0.0,5.0.0)' but it could not be found.

We can know that it needs version 4 of Dynamic Languages Toolkit: org.eclipse.dltk.core [4.0.0,5.0.0), but it is possible that in indigo, version 3 is already installed (my case), and when I install lightly-build vertion 4 using url(http://download.eclipse.org/technology/dltk/updates-dev/4.0-nightly/), it said only one core can be installed at once, which means eclipse will not update the version itself. So I uninstalled version 3 and install version 4, then ShellEd can be installed.

Answer 3

Here is a command line to install the ShellEd plugin (tested on ubuntu 12.04, eclipse Indigo):

eclipse -nosplash -application org.eclipse.equinox.p2.director -repository http://download.eclipse.org/releases/indigo/,http://download.eclipse.org/technology/dltk/updates-dev/4.0-nightly/,https://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/shelled/shelled/ShellEd%202.0.2/update -installIU net.sourceforge.shelled.feature.group

If it fails, you may have an older version of dltk already installed that must be removed so that it will pull in the newer version from the dltk nightly builds repo.
