Build Identifier: Eclipse Platform Version: 3.7.0 Build id: I20110613-1736 The error reports from three successive attempts follow. Note especially the last attempt, undertaken after installing Eclipse and with an empty workspace. My attempts to find and install the apparently missing SW components were unsuccessful. (I am relatively inexperienced with Eclipse. I need it for implementing a Java application==> hence WindowBuilder.) ================== Installing WindowBuilder for Eclipse 3.7 - http://download.eclipse.org/windowbuilder/WB/integration/3.7/ Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found. Software being installed: WindowBuilder XML Core 1.2.0.r37x201110251038 (org.eclipse.wb.core.xml.feature.feature.group 1.2.0.r37x201110251038) Missing requirement: WindowBuilder Core for XML GUI's 1.2.0.r37x201110251038 (org.eclipse.wb.core.xml 1.2.0.r37x201110251038) requires 'bundle org.eclipse.wst.sse.core 0.0.0' but it could not be found Cannot satisfy dependency: From: WindowBuilder XML Core 1.2.0.r37x201110251038 (org.eclipse.wb.core.xml.feature.feature.group 1.2.0.r37x201110251038) To: org.eclipse.wb.core.xml [1.2.0.r37x201110251038] After upgrading to EE version of Eclipse Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found.

Tried the same installation for WindowBuilder. Result was Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found. Software being installed: WindowBuilder XML Core 1.2.0.r37x201110251038 (org.eclipse.wb.core.xml.feature.feature.group 1.2.0.r37x201110251038) Missing requirement: WindowBuilder Core for XML GUI's 1.2.0.r37x201110251038 (org.eclipse.wb.core.xml 1.2.0.r37x201110251038) requires 'bundle org.eclipse.wst.sse.core 0.0.0' but it could not be found Cannot satisfy dependency: From: WindowBuilder XML Core 1.2.0.r37x201110251038 (org.eclipse.wb.core.xml.feature.feature.group 1.2.0.r37x201110251038) To: org.eclipse.wb.core.xml [1.2.0.r37x201110251038] Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install Eclipse 3.7 pointing it at an empty workspace 2. Attempt WindowBuilder installation for Eclipse 3.7 by using http://download.eclipse.org/windowbuilder/WB/integration/3.7/ 3. Read the content of the error report
Feels to me as though you could just use the Indigo site to install WindowBuilder instead of explicitly defining that update site yourself.
Remy is correct. The WindowBuilder components have a dependency on other features and they aren't available from the WindowBuilder repository. You will be able to install if you point to the Indigo site at http://download.eclipse.org/releases/indigo. (I just tried it and it worked for me)
Comments from originator: ---------- My guidance for what follows came from http://help.eclipse.org/indigo/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse.platform.doc.user/tasks/tasks-124.htm to which I was led from the email by Houghton. (I.e., I did not use any WindowBuilder repository--only stuff that I found via http://download.eclipse.org/releases/indigo.) The conflicts previously reported seemed also to block the remedy suggested by Houghton earlier today. So I uninstalled Eclipse, using the Synaptic Package Manager to do so, and then had Synaptic do an installation that included the dependencies that it chose. As soon as I had the new Eclipse installation working, I tried its Help->Check for Updates. The response included the following set of messages: Cannot complete the install because of a conflicting dependency.

Nothing found.

hgladney, you mention installing Eclipse on a few instances in your comments. When you install Eclipse, are you always using Sypantic? Or are you untarring tarball downloaded from Eclipse.org? If you are using the tarballs, what are the files' names? Where do you untar the tarball to?
Thank you for your help. After more fumbling than was pleasurable, the problem is solved (for me). The useful user guide was the one at http://www.java-javafx.com/2011/01/windowbuilder-pro-hello-world-java.html
