Description Sam Kuper CLA 2010-12-17 08:33:52 EST
Build Identifier: 20100218-1602

In Eclipse, I go to:

Help > Check for Updates

After clicking through, I get a window titled, "Available Updates". It says, among other things, "Cannot complete the install because of a conflicting dependency.
  Software being installed: Eclipse IDE for Java Developers 1.3.1.20100916-1202 (epp.package.java 1.3.1.20100916-1202)"

I will attach a screenshot of this window.

A separate bug (I guess) is that where it says that, it's impossible to scroll down - although apparently there's much more text there, because if I hit Cmd-A and then copy and paste, I end up with much more text on the clipboard than I can see in the window. I'll attach this text as a file to this bug report.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Click Help > Check for Updates
2. After clicking through, error message appears.

Since the error message isn't all that long, I'll paste it into this comment, to help ensure that anyone else searching for the same issue will find this bug report.

From the error message, it seems that the Google plugin you have installed (com.google.gdt.eclipse.suite.e35) needs runtime (org.eclipse.core.runtime) version to be < 3.6 while you are trying to update it to 3.6.

You can either find a 3.6 compatible version of your plugin, or install your own 3.5.2 from http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/

I ended up uninstalling the Google plugins as a workaround, but this wasn't ideal, as I'll have to reinstall them at some point.
