Symptoms

During installation you may receive an error message similar to one of these:

  • Cannot complete the request. See the details.
    Cannot find a solution satisfying the following requirements Match[requiredCapability: org.eclipse.equinox.p2.iu/org.eclipse.swt/[3.4.0.v3448f,3.4.0.v3448f]].

  • Cannot complete the request. See the details.
    Cannot find a solution satisfying the following requirements org.eclipse.pde.feature.jar [3.4.0.v20080603-7T7U-E_EkMNrNKb39WcMC].

  • Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found.
    Software being installed: Atlassian Connector for Eclipse (recommended) 1.1.0.v20090624 (com.atlassian.connector.eclipse.feature.group 1.1.0.v20090624)
    Missing requirement: Atlassian Connector for Eclipse (recommended) 1.1.0.v20090624 (com.atlassian.connector.eclipse.feature.group 1.1.0.v20090624) requires 'org.eclipse.mylyn.jira_feature.feature.group [3.2.0.I20090529,3.3.0)' but it could not be found

Cause

This is most likely an error from P2 (Eclipse's update mechanism in Eclipse 3.4 and higher). The problem seems to be that the Mylyn update site is not enabled in your copy of Eclipse. There is a bug in Eclipse that these sites may not be automatically enabled even though we specify that we require them for installation.

If any of the installed features have unsatisfied dependencies or if features were previously installed from the extras or incubator update site, P2 may fail with an error similar to the one above.

Resolution

Follow these steps to enable the required sites:

  1. In Eclipse, open 'Help', 'Software Updates'.
  2. Click the 'Available Software' tab.
  3. Click 'Manage Sites'.
  4. Look for either the 'Mylyn Extras' update site or a URL that looks like this:
    http://download.eclipse.org/tools/mylyn/update/extras
  5. Make sure that the site or URL is checked.
  6. Look for either the 'Mylyn For Eclipse 3.4' update site or a URL that looks like this:
    http://download.eclipse.org/tools/mylyn/update/e3.4
  7. Make sure that the site or URL is checked.
  8. Now you should update all installed features to the latest version. Click the 'Installed Software' tab.
  9. Click 'Update'.
  10. Restart if prompted.
  11. Try to install the Atlassian Connector for Eclipse again.

Installing the Eclipse Connector


Eclipse 3.5 on Linux doesn't display org.eclipse.mylyn.jira_feature.feature.group [3.2.0.I20090529,3.3.0] under the update site http://download.eclipse.org/tools/mylyn/update/extras. It only contains the 3.1 version.

Actually, what fixed it for me was removing the Mylyn Extras site and adding it back in. Once I re-added the update site, the the 3.2 version was visible in the list.

Adding and removing the mylyn extras did the trick with Galileo on osx as well.
Enabling/disabling didn't help. Thanks for the tip.
