Getting the below error while setting up eclipse development platform:

Took 2610 seconds.
There are failed tasks.
Press Back to choose different settings or Cancel to abort.

How to reproduce:
1. Download latest eclipse installer (linux 64 bit) from here https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/
2. Unzipped tar file and opened installer. When installer opens selected advanced mode, in next page Selected all components under Eclipse platform for commiters.
See index.php/fa/26324/0/

Click next and finish.
3. After finishing I closed the previous dialog and main eclipse window opens again then starts cloning the git repos. After cloning repos I am getting this error.

I am facing this error few months back also. Repo's were cloned but working sets not created.

I don't know how to proceed any clues/pointer to trouble shot this issue?

The next page after switching to advance mode should be "Product" and on that page there is nothing to select "under"
anything.

I can only assume that you made a bunch of selection on the third page "Projects". Is that true?

Not all of these project setups are designed to cooperate nicely and some may even have errors. Most of them are not
maintained by the Oomph team itself.

But in order to understand where the problem is, we need to see what exactly you've done. Can you please attach the
entire install log?

You find it in the installed IDE in the Navigate menu -> "Open Setup Log".

> Yes as you said I selected all components under "Eclipse Platform".
I think those are currently in the process of being transferred to the Platform team's control. I really can't comment
on the state of these setup files ;-( Maybe Ed has an idea...

> But I am not impressed by Oomph as it doest say want went wrong
That's simply not true. It said:

requires 'org.apache.commons.el 0.0.0' but it could not be found

> and how we correct it.
Then you probably hate Java, too, because it only tells you what went wrong but not how to fix it ;-)

In this case there's probably not much you can do. I suspect a problem in these setup files (which we do not maintain
ourselves).

> Any idea how to proceed
The only thing you could try is to start with a single project, see how it goes, and then imprt one more project at a time.

Attached the setup log. Still I don't know how and where to correct.

It says org.apache.commons.el 0.0.0 missing in order provide this which component do I need to select?

am I missing any steps. I need all components under Eclipse platform for commiters.

It's not you that should need to figure out what's incomplete in their
setup description. No doubt they have written a targlet task and while
resolving it's not finding an update site containing that bundle. They
could use

https://wiki.eclipse.org/Eclipse_Oomph_Authoring#How_to_find_a_P2_repository_at_Eclipse_using_the_Repository_Explorer
<https://wiki.eclipse.org/Eclipse_Oomph_Authoring#How_to_find_a_P2_repository_at_Eclipse_using_the_Repository_Explorer>

to find the appropriate update site that should be added, but likely
they're not aware there is a problem. (The wiki is down right now so
that link might not work until the Webmaster fixes the server.)

So while I can test this scenario for them, and I can help them fix the
problem, I won't have time for that until later in the week (when I'm
not traveling).

Of course you could help them as well by doing these things for them, or
by opening a bugzilla and reporting this issue to the platform team.

Because Chandrayya cross posted his problem on StackOverflow I have done some investigation.

The setup of "Platform - UA" project (Master Stream) has some problem with the Targlet Task triggered in the IDE.

I have reproduced the problem on my Windows 7 computer.

index.php/fa/26376/0/

I guess the problem is this feature:

eclipse.platform.ua/org.eclipse.help.webapp/web-archive/org.eclipse.help.infocenter-feature/feature.xml

that is referencing the unknown "org.apache.commons.el".

Maybe the sub-project "web-archive/org.eclipse.help.infocenter-feature" should be ignored.

Time to open a Bugzilla issue?

Jeremie,

It's hard to say how this should be fixed, but yes, opening a Bugzilla
so that platform team is aware that something (specific steps for how to
reproduce the problem) needs to be fixed would be a good idea.

Yes, it's just the platformUA project setup that results in this
problem. I'm not sure if some of the repository's content is
obsolete. That bundle is in
http://download.eclipse.org/tools/orbit/N-builds/N201604131941 but the
setup (from the targlet of the parent project) is using
http://download.eclipse.org/modeling/emf/cdo/orbit/latest-R for
resolving Orbit dependencies, and that repository doesn't contain
org.apache.commons.el.
