Issue with Grails Support

[kevino]

I am running STS 2.7.2 and when I try to install Grails Support I get the following error:

Problems occurred while performing installation: Operation details
Operation details
Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found.
Software being installed: SpringSource Tool Suite Grails Support 2.8.0.201110171000-RELEASE (com.springsource.sts.grails.feature.group 2.8.0.201110171000-RELEASE)
Missing requirement: SpringSource Tool Suite Groovy Debug Support (Core) 2.8.0.201110171000-RELEASE (com.springsource.sts.groovy.debug.core 2.8.0.201110171000-RELEASE) requires 'bundle org.eclipse.contribution.weaving.jdt 2.2.0' but it could not be found
Cannot satisfy dependency:
From: SpringSource Tool Suite Grails Support 2.8.0.201110171000-RELEASE (com.springsource.sts.grails.feature.group 2.8.0.201110171000-RELEASE)
To: com.springsource.sts.groovy.debug.core [2.8.0.201110171000-RELEASE]

I cannot seem to find anything on this and I can't find an earlier version (not 2.8 of Grails Support to try to install). I tried to install the 2.6 version I found when searching the 3.5 repository, but had conflicting dependencies.

Thanks.

Please upgrade your ajdt using the following update site:
http://download.eclipse.org/tools/ajdt/37/milestone

And then try installing grails tooling again.

Thanks. I am having an issue with STS telling me that is a duplicate site and not letting me load it, even though it wasn't on my list of available sites and I removed anything even close in name. Any thoughts on a fix there or an alternative approach?

[Andrew Eisenberg]

This is because it is likely included as part of a composite update site elsewhere. Rather than searching for which update site is causing the conflict, you can just install from the dev snapshot update site. Not much has changed since the milestone release:

http://download.eclipse.org/tools/ajdt/37/dev/update/

If that doesn't work, try disabling all update sites, except for the AJDT update site.

Thanks. That moved me along, but got this error:

You are just hitting all of the fun bugs today...

This problem is happening because you have installed STS into a read-only location (or in the C:\Program Files directory). That's what "Shared profile" means. You need to move the install to a new location or ensure that you have write access before you can continue.
