I was setting up a new laptop and downloaded Eclipse: Version: 2019-12 (4.14.0) but when I tried to add the LDT plugins, it fails because it cannot satisfy dependency (see below.)

The prior version of eclipse I had on my last laptop was 2018-12 (4.10.)

Do you guys have a list of what the last/latest version of Eclipse which works with your (1.4.2?) plugin is?

(pointed repo to "stable" (although tried even nightly after that)
Error message:

I tried earlier versions and it seems the very prior entry, Eclipse (Java) 2019-09 still allows install of the LDT plug-in.

I also eliminated the MacBook part of the issue. I did testing on Win10 with Eclipse installer and tried several versions - validating 2019-12 did not work there either.

Btw, since they do not go into the "uninstaller" do I need to do anything to cleanup after old Eclipse installs (via Installer) other than deleting directories and program folder shortcuts?

LDT is not compatible with recent version of DLTK.
There is no plan to fix this as the project is not maintained anymore.

The last version of eclipse that I'm sure it is compatible with LDT is Eclipse photon (4.8). Recent one could work but I never test it with it

My own issue was similar enough that maybe my solution can work for you.

My scene:
I tried to install from Install New Software from site "http://download.eclipse.org/ldt/releases/stable" though I also had the other LDT sites enabled, same URL but ending in "/milestones" and "/updates-nightly"; I'm not sure if having those made a difference but anyway my errors were like:

"No repository found containing: osgi.bundle,org.eclipse.dltk.core,5.7.1.201703020501"
...plus 5 others, same except instead of "core" they were "debug", "debug.ui", "formatter", "launching" and "ui".

My solution was basically to provide the missing resource from a download since it doesn't seem to be available from repositories any more:

Download the runtime for DLTK 5.7.1 as a zip: Here's a direct link and its MD5. Save it to some logical place; I chose my root eclipse install directory but whatever.

In Eclipse, navigate to menu > Help > Install new software...

Click Manage... to go to Available Software Sites dialog

Click Add... use a good name like "LDTK zip", click the "Archive" button and browse to that zip, downloaded from before.

Then when I tried again the install happened correctly and my initial tests indicate that LDT is working as expected.

Just to confirm that one year later this method is still working for version 2019-12. Thanks @Dave!

This is AWESOME news!

I have not tried it - at work atm (different environ), but based on replies I am hopeful.

I was installing a new Eclipse for Java on my temp laptop for work prior to sending the other for service and setting that up to be able to build made me think of my old Lua issue.

I was about to post again asking if anyone knew of any LUA solution for Eclipse if there had been a replacement plugin in intervening years. Great news again - can't wait to try later today.

EDIT: ==> Successfully installed, thank you - tomorrow I play with it again.
