Can't install PDT under Linux (dependency issue) [message #1219262]

I'm new to Eclipse and PHP. I'm trying to install Eclipse and PDT as part of my effort to teach myself PHP.

Platform is Linux Mint 13 Maya.

Eclipse installed without issue.

I get this message when tring to install PDT from the "Help -> Install New Software.." menu.

Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found.
Software being installed: PHP Development Tools (PDT) 3.1.2.201212211235 (org.eclipse.php.feature.group 3.1.2.201212211235)
Missing requirement: PDT Server UI Plug-in 3.1.2.201212211235 (org.eclipse.php.server.ui 3.1.2.201212211235) requires 'bundle org.eclipse.dltk.ui [4.0.0,5.0.0)' but it could not be found
Cannot satisfy dependency:
From: PHP Development Tools (PDT) 3.1.2.201212211235 (org.eclipse.php.feature.group 3.1.2.201212211235)
To: org.eclipse.php.server.ui [3.1.2.201212211235]

Any ideas?

Thanks - Pete

Update: I just downloaded Eclipse for Windows XP 32 bit and then installed PDT per the instructions. That went fine on that platform. It appears that the problem is limited to the Linux platform.

For the installation,
1) Download eclipse 4.3.1(Kepler) from //www.eclipse.org/downloads, extract it, start eclipse.
2) Install PDT thru 'Install New Software' from preconfigured Kepler repository.(//download.eclipse.org/releases/kepler)
That's all. What kind of difficulty is there.
Even if you choosed the eclipse package in Ubuntu repository,(note that it is 3.7.2(Indigo) based)
1) Install eclipse with Software Manager or Package Manager, start eclipse.
2) Install PDT thru 'Install New Software' from preconfigured Indigo repository.(//download.eclipse.org/releases/indigo)
That's all. What kind of difficulty is there. Even though you'll get PDT 3.0.1 in this case.

You are going to install PDT 3.1.2, and it is for/in Eclipse 3.8/4.2(Juno). You need to add Juno repository in 'Available Software Sites'.
If you had installed eclipse from Ubuntu repository and you had added the abandoned update site //download.eclipse.org/tools/pdt/updates/release (in accordance with the abandoned page //www.eclipse.org/pdt/downloads/), you'll encounter this dependency problem. Because it is wrong.
