Cannot install Oracle Weblogic Server Tools in eclipse

Question

I came across this error when installing Oracle Weblogic Server Tools from eclipse:

Software being installed: Oracle WebLogic Server Tools 17.2.0.201806071916 (oracle.eclipse.tools.weblogic.feature.group 17.2.0.201806071916)Software currently installed: JustJ OpenJDK Hotspot JRE Complete 15.0.2.v20210201-0955 (org.eclipse.justj.openjdk.hotspot.jre.full.feature.group 15.0.2.v20210201-0955)Cannot satisfy dependency:Cannot satisfy dependency:Cannot satisfy dependency:Cannot satisfy dependency:Cannot satisfy dependency:Cannot satisfy dependency:

Please help. I searched for the solution for so long but nothing worked.

Is that really the full message? It looks like it is missing the actual dependencies. — greg-449, Dec 28 '21 at 14:01
I asked the nearly the same thing about nearly the same forum post, where I didn't get any kind of reply. — nitind, Dec 28 '21 at 14:10

I recently installed oracle weblogic server tools in eclipse 2021-06. The steps required in my environment were as follows:-

In eclipse, go to Help > Install New Software...
Click on Manage... to view the available software sites
Make sure https://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/photon/stable/updates/ is in the list of available software sites (click Add... to add it if required).
Back in the Install dialog, enter the following site into the Work with: input field http://download.oracle.com/otn_software/oepe/12.2.1.10/photon/repository/
When selecting which software to install, only select Tools > Oracle Weblogic Server Tools
Click Next and complete the installation.

For me, the key was making sure https://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/photon/stable/updates/ was an available software site so eclipse could download some other dependencies required by Oracle Weblogic Server Tools. Also making sure nothing else except Oracle Weblogic Server Tools was selected helped reduce the dependencies that were required to be installed.

I've successfully installed weblogic server tools in eclipse 2022-06. I did have to configure eclipse 2022-06 to run using java 11 instead of java 16 that it comes with to get this working. I did this by creating a shortcut to eclipse and adding the -vm option to the command line when launching eclipse.

This workaround works with eclipse 2021-12 too. – rfrp Feb 14 '22 at 22:11 — rfrp, Feb 14 '22 at 22:11

If https://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/photon/stable/updates/ is already added press reload, it worked for me. 2021 -09

What is the additional insight this post is supposed to contribute on top of the existing other answer which seems to already include what you propose: https://stackoverflow.com/a/70573485/7733418 – Yunnosch Jul 14 '22 at 21:43
I assume the addition is the bit about reloading if it's already added. It's rather unclear, though. – Ryan M Jul 19 '22 at 10:20
