Build Identifier: 20110615-0604 The m2e plugin cannot be installed in Indigo because it depends on Shared Profile which Eclipse cannot find. I've spent quite a bit of time trying to find a workaround for this and I can't find one. It looks as though people who need m2e have to stick with Helios for now. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install Eclipse IDE for Java Developers. 2. Go to the Install New Software window. 3. Add the Indigo software site: http://download.eclipse.org/releases/indigo/ 4. Select "m2e - Maven Integration for Eclipse". 5. Click Next. The error details are: Cannot complete the install because of a conflicting dependency. Software being installed: m2e - Maven Integration for Eclipse 1.0.0.20110607-2117 (org.eclipse.m2e.feature.feature.group 1.0.0.20110607-2117) Software currently installed: Shared profile 1.0.0.1304050493443 (SharedProfile_epp.package.java 1.0.0.1304050493443) Only one of the following can be installed at once: Maven Integration for Eclipse 0.12.1.20110112-1712 (org.maven.ide.eclipse 0.12.1.20110112-1712) Maven Integration for Eclipse 0.12.0.20101115-1102 (org.maven.ide.eclipse 0.12.0.20101115-1102) This version of m2eclipse cannot be installed on top of the already installed m2eclipse.

Whoops wrong stack trace... I tried to reproduce it on my Helios installation by accident (which already had M2E installed). This is the Indigo stack trace: Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found. Software currently installed: Shared profile 1.0.0.1308119157680 (SharedProfile_epp.package.java 1.0.0.1308119157680) Missing requirement: Shared profile 1.0.0.1308119157680 (SharedProfile_epp.package.java 1.0.0.1308119157680) requires 'org.maven.ide.eclipse [1.0.0.20110607-2117]' but it could not be found
m2e is already part of the Java Developers package (though not EE iirc) If you're trying to install something else and get this error, make sure your OS user has permission to write to the Eclipse directory. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 350645 ***
Thanks Matthew for explaining this, I should have checked the menus before I went to install the plug-in. I did check to see if it was already installed from the Install New Software screen and there seems to be a bug that it's not showing up as installed there. I've raised this separately: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=351906
