I'm trying to install Maven integration plugin in Eclipse Helios via Marketplace, but I'm receiveing "cannot satisfy dependency" error:

Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found.

Do you have any ideas how it could be done? Unfortunately, upgrading Eclipse is not an option in my case.

  • Have you tried to upgrade "slf4j" by donwloading `org.slf4j:1.6.2` and copying it into %ECLIPSE_HOME%/plugins? – M. Abbas Sep 24 '13 at 14:10
  • That usually mean some incompatibility with some already installed components. You could also try updating your plugins. – rlegendi Sep 24 '13 at 15:01
  • @mabbas nope, didn't help. Tried download it from Maven site, their official website... All remains the same. – uncle Lem Sep 24 '13 at 16:33
  • @rlegendi I just downloaded Eclipse and installed all plugins so I don't think that the problem is here. – uncle Lem Sep 24 '13 at 16:34
  • Did you ever find a resolution to this problem? Could you update the question if you did? From the look of the marketplace bugs page hundreds of people are getting the same problem, and this is the first hit on google... – Paul Dec 17 '13 at 09:50
  • @Paul I migrated to IntelliJ IDEA, but this is not the real solution. Also, may be some newer version of Eclipse will work with maven. – uncle Lem Dec 17 '13 at 10:26

I believe you must be trying the following URL in the update site:

http://download.eclipse.org/technology/m2e/releases

Try using:

http://download.eclipse.org/technology/m2e/releases/1.3

In your install manager, check "Contact all updates sites" . This should resolve the problem as sometimes dependencies come form different sites.

Dated : 2015-June-04 I was trying to do the same for IBM RAD 8.5.0 which is built on Eclipse 3.6 i.e Helios Platform. I tried using the below link and it works fine. http://download.eclipse.org/technology/m2e/releases/1.4

Also uncheck the "Show only the latest versions of available software" this gives you all the versions that are compatable with your current version.
