Failing to install Grails Support extension

[nskupnik]

This happens when trying to install the "Grails Support" under Language and Framework Tooling section. I have successfully installed Grails (current production release) under Languages and Frameworks as well as Groovy Eclipse.

Please advise. Thanks in advance.

Normally the missing bundle "org.apache.commons.io" comes as part of STS. What are you installing this on top of?

I found a relevant older posting that seems to be about your problem:
http://forum.springsource.org/archiv.../t-106568.html

Seems there are two possible solutions:
- install STS from the official distribution zip or installer package
- add another update site to get the missing bundle: http://download.eclipse.org/tools/or...754/repository

I can't really provide more specific help, because don't know what you are trying to install the Grails support extension into exactly.

Please have a read through the older post and see if it helps you at all.

Also if you are not installing on top of an STS installed from an official distribution from here:
http://www.springsource.com/products/eclipse-downloads

Then please try with an official STS distribution package.

Thank you for your help. The linked thread is similar to my problem. However, after upgrading to STS 2.7.0, the issue was resolved.

Glad to hear it :-)
