Cannot install PDT as plugin in Eclipse Classic 4.2 [message #925234] Thu, 27 September 2012 14:16 Go to next message

Hello, I'm new to Eclipse, just played a little in the past, but I generally used: Dreamweaver on my first years, next Netbeans, finally PHPDesigner. I'd like to try Eclipse PDT seriously, but I opted to install the classic app and then install PDT and Aptana as plugins.

So, I've just installed Eclipse Classic 4.2 (Juno) on Windows 7 (32-bits), and next tried to download and install PDT (PHP Development Tools (PDT) Runtime Feature 3.1.1.201209241501) through Help/Install New Software... getting this error:

Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found.
  Software being installed: PHP Development Tools (PDT) Runtime Feature 3.1.1.201209241501 (org.eclipse.php.feature.group 3.1.1.201209241501)
  Missing requirement: PDT UI Plug-in 3.1.1.201209241501 (org.eclipse.php.ui 3.1.1.201209241501) requires 'bundle org.eclipse.dltk.core.manipulation 0.0.0' but it could not be found
  Cannot satisfy dependency:
    From: PHP Development Tools (PDT) Runtime Feature 3.1.1.201209241501 (org.eclipse.php.feature.group 3.1.1.201209241501)
    To: org.eclipse.php.ui [3.1.1.201209241501]


Could you please help me solve this problem?

Hi Luis,


which updatesite are you using to install PDT? The version 3.1.1 is not available yet in the built-in updatesite, so i assume you are using some different updatesite which might not be able to resolve the PDT dependency to the Dynamic Language Toolkit (DLTK).

DLTK is available in Juno repository. When installing PDT, please make sure that you have this checkbox checked "Contact all update sites during install to find required software"
thanks!

Hello Jacek and Robert, and thanks for replying!

I'm using this repo:
http://download.eclipse.org/tools/pdt/updates/release

just as specified here:
http://www.eclipse.org/pdt/downloads/

I'm also checking "Contact all update sites during install to find required software". But no success.

can you list all updatesite which are available in your installation? seems to me like the juno release repository is missing.

Hello Robert, excuse the delay. I didn't notice your message and I'm using another IDE meanwhile.

After seeing I might need the juno repository I added it to the update list:
Eclipse Juno	http://download.eclipse.org/releases/juno/	Enabled


Since I installed the Juno package I didn't think it was necessary to specifically add it.

Well, having done this, I could install the PDT plugin, and this is what I get in the Installation History:
PHP Development Tools (PDT) Runtime Feature	3.1.1.201209101312
  Dynamic Languages Toolkit - Core Frameworks	4.0.0.201206120848
  Dynamic Languages Toolkit - Core H2 Index Frameworks	4.0.0.201206120848
PHP Development Tools (PDT) Source Feature	3.1.1.201209241501


However I'm not sure if everything was ok. There is no PHP perspective. There is no PHP tab when I click on New. Just the default settings: PHP Project option, and a Web tab. I mean Eclipse still doesn't make you easy to create PHP files, classes, PHP templates, etc. It's still mainly aimed at Java.

Is this what I must expect or did anything go wrong?

No idea about this issue? It would be a pity not to be able to properly use Eclipse for PHP, since I like it a lot how the GUI looks. Sad
Now I'm using Netbeans, which is very powerful, but I don't like its GUI somewhat.
I also used phpDesigner 8 trial and I liked it a lot in the way that it provides plenty of code assistance, but I found it a bit buggy to purchase it. And Nusphere phpEd is extremely powerful but I consider it too expensive.

Don't know but I'm under Kubuntu and I use Eclipse Indigo Baisc + PDT 3.1.1. and it works very well ... could you downgrade your eclipse ?

Hi Luis,

i'm 100% sure that the regular updatesite works, no need to manually add anything to eclipse.

Simply download "Eclipse Classic 4.2.1" "http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/

Then open up eclipse, go to "Help -> Install New Software", select the "Juno - http://download.eclipse.org/releases/juno" entry from the "Work with" dropdown.

Under the "Web, XML, Java EE and OSGi Enterprise Developmet" category, select "PHP Development Tools (PDT) SDK Feature 3.1.1.201209101312".

This will install PDT, and everything should work out of the box. I'm so sure about that because i've started with a PDT tutorial this weekend, where i tested
the whole install process multiple times: http://blog.dubture.com/2012/10/improving-your-productivity-with.html Wink

If you still have troubles, you can get live-help by joining the #pdt irc channel on freenode, i'm around most of the time (pulse00).

Hello again. Sorry for the delay. I was using PHPDesigner meanwhile, but I'm going to give it a try again.

Robert: I did what you said in your last message, and everything went smooth. Thanks for you help!

So you mean that doing so (fetching from the Juno repo instead of the PDT repo) will completely install PDT? I don't need to load anything from the PDT repo afterwards?
