JDT Installation failed [message #515685]

I am trying to install JDT in the Eclipse SDK Version: 3.5.1 on Ubuntu 9.10.
After selecting Help - Install New Software, I added this URL: http://download.eclipse.org/releases/galileo/ and selected Eclipse Java Development Tools.
Installation failed with the following message:

Cannot complete the install because of a conflicting dependency.

How can I fix this?

Solved by executing this from the command line:
sudo apt-get install eclipse-pde

It installed also JDT (I don't know why). Anyway, my final goal was to install CDT, which could not be installed without PDT/JDT, now everything is OK.
