This installation has not been configured properly for Software Updates.

Eclipse was updated to version 3.5, but this problem persists. Any clue?

Yes, that should be fixed.

@roolvid, this is not the same problem. When I click on Install new Software, the attached message is shown. I cannot install any plugin at all. Again, I'm using Eclipse 3.5 from the default Karmic repository.

This is not fixed in 3.5.1-0ubuntu2. The bug is confirmed, so please do not post "me too" comment.

Same problem bug: 438414

Sorry, Same problem Bug #448430

Oh, linking that eclipse bug was probably an error, but I do not seem to have rights to remove it again.
Sorry for that.

You can disable the bug watcher and then you can set the bug for the eclipse upstream project to invalid.

Hi

All of you experiencing this, try running the following in a terminal:

sudo sed -i 's/SDKProfile/PlatformProfile/' /usr/lib/eclipse/configuration/config.ini

You may have to have to delete your ~/.eclipse and possible also create a clean workspace for this to work.

Niels,

I just ran that command, and no longer receive this error message! However, I now get a message stating "there are no update sites to search."

Thanks Niels,
it is work!!!

Craig: Go to Window> Preferences> Available software sites

I have another problem.

Hi

We have fixed the "error message" part of this problem, which has already been committed to our VCS repositories. I have no ETA on when it will be released, however.

To max and Tobias (and others experiencing similar problems):

Please try to see if the solution in Bug 445376 works for you; also, please post your results at the bug instead of this one.

~Niels

This bug was fixed in the package eclipse - 3.5.1-0ubuntu3

---------------
eclipse (3.5.1-0ubuntu3) karmic; urgency=low

  * Configure eclipse properly for Software Updates (LP: #438414).
  * Split osgi jars in its own package (LP: #102717).
  * Add source jar files to packages.

I dont know if this is the right place to report this, but the amd64 build failed:

dh_install: eclipse-platform missing files (usr/share/eclipse/features/org.eclipse.help.source_*), aborting
make: *** [binary-install/eclipse-platform] Error 1
dpkg-buildpackage: error: /usr/bin/fakeroot debian/rules binary-arch gave error exit status 2

Yes, we are aware of this problem. A new bug report would be a better place for reporting this issue.

Noted for future, thanks :)

On my kubuntu 9.10 the bug is still there:

@keul: It is fixed in version 3.5.1-0ubuntu7 and not in version 3.5.1-0ubuntu6. Please upgrade (it may need some hours till the new version hit your mirror).

Forget it... it works.
But now I've another but: #454819

@keul: Bug #454819 was fixed in version 3.5.1-0ubuntu7. Please open a new bug report if you have problems with this version.

I experienced same issue installing eclipse from eclipse.org tar.gz so if it's patched in ubuntu package that's fine but what should i do if i want to install eclipse tar.gz and still use update/install feature ?

@ecor6633: This bug was only in the Ubuntu package. The official package was not affected. You probably encounter bug #443004. The solution: Either use the Ubuntu package (which supports installing other plugins - you only have to add update sites) or wait for eclipse 3.5.2.
