Cannot Install Grails Support in STS 2.6

[Martin Lippert]

Hi!

Thanks for attaching the information of your STS configuration, that helps a lot here. It seems like you are using STS installed into an Eclipse 3.5.2 and the org.apache.commons.io is indeed not part of your installation. Therefore I would recommend to add the Eclipse Orbit update site to the list of available update sites in order to have it available for the Grails support installation.

So please add this update site (this is the latest release repo from Orbit) to your list of update sites (Preferences -> Install/Update -> Available Software Sites):

http://download.eclipse.org/tools/or...754/repository

After that you should be able to install the Grails support the same way as you tried before.

HTH,
Martin

I have a similar problem. I've installed STS succesfully. But when I try to install Grails Support (or Groovy Support only), I get this error:

Hi AMsedian,

Your problem is slightly different. You are trying to install groovy-eclipse into a read-only installation of STS. That is what "Shared Install" means. There is no way to install Groovy-Eclipse into this kind of installation. This is a bug with the Eclipse p2 installer and it is currently out of our control.

However, the workaround is to temporarily give yourself write privileges to your STS install and retrying the installation process.

Hi! Thank you for the really quick reply!
Yes, you are right. I noticed that all the folders in the STS installation folder are set to 'read-only'. I gave myself all the privileges and could succesfully instal Grails support.

Thank you very much,
have a nice day!
