EclipseFP on Indigo, issues with Maven?

2k views Asked by At

I'm trying to install EclipseFP, using the usual Eclipse "Install new software" approach. However, at the "Installation Details" window, it says "This operation cannot be completed", giving me the following details:

Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found.
  Software currently installed: Shared profile 1.0.0.1316138547364
      (SharedProfile_epp.package.java 1.0.0.1316138547364)
  Missing requirement: Shared profile 1.0.0.1316138547364
      (SharedProfile_epp.package.java 1.0.0.1316138547364)
    requires 'org.maven.ide.eclipse [1.0.100.20110804-1717]'
    but it could not be found

I just barely downloaded a fresh Eclipse:

Eclipse IDE for Java Developers    
Version: Indigo Service Release 1
Build id: 20110916-0149

Does EclipseFP actually work on Indigo? Do I need to download an older Eclipse? Or perhaps there are additional steps I need to take to install Maven? (I don't want to download/install Maven if I don't have to.)

Since Kane neglected to turn his comment into an answer, I may as well state it plainly here:

This issue arises when you put the Eclipse folder in a location where Windows will have issues with access control (e.g. the Program Files folder). By moving the folder to my personal user's folder, I was able to use Eclipse normally without this issue.
