Easy Struts Plug-in requires 'org.eclipse.update.ui.forms - java

I can't install easy struts plugin in eclipse helios. I faced with next:
Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found.
Software being installed: Easy Struts plugin 0.6.3 (com.cross.easystruts.eclipse.feature.feature.group 0.6.3)
Missing requirement: Easy Struts plugin 0.6.3 (com.cross.easystruts.eclipse.feature.feature.group 0.6.3) requires 'org.eclipse.update.ui.forms 0.0.0' but it could not be found
Any ideas? thanx

Easy Struts is a very old tool that was written for Eclipse 2.x. I'm pretty sure it is no longer supported. The org.eclipse.update.ui.forms plugin is not part of Eclipse any more (it hasn't been for at least 6 or 7 years), so you simply can't install that version of Easy Struts into any recent version of Eclipse.
By the way, the first link when you google for org.eclipse.update.ui.forms would answer this question.

Eclipse Thym requires 'osgi.bundle; org.eclipse.jgit [3.0.0,5.0.0)' but it could not be found

I am trying to install Eclipse Thym plugin, but I'm getting the below error.
Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found.

I dug through multiple forums, but no where it is clear on how to resolve this issue. How to resolve this issue?
My IDE is Eclipse Photon

You could install it on more recent versions of Eclipse by using the snapshot software repository url, eq. http://download.eclipse.org/thym/snapshots/
It looks like Eclipse Thym is not compatible with Eclipse Photon.
The key part of the error is
requires 'osgi.bundle; org.eclipse.jgit [3.0.0,5.0.0)'
which says that the org.eclipse.jgit plugin is required and must have a version of at least 3.0.0 and less than 5.0.0. The version of this plugin in Eclipse Photon is 5.0.0 so it is not compatible.
So it looks like you would have to use an older version of Eclipse to run this.

In Eclipse 4.4 RCP builds, "The service Plugin converter could not be acquired."

We began getting the build errors below for our RCP applications after updating to the recent Eclipse 4.4 IDE Eclipse for RCP and RAP developers. These occurred on multiple Windows and Mac platforms, in a vanilla Eclipse IDE install with no additional plug-ins.
generateFeature:
[eclipse.generateFeature] The service Plugin converter could not be acquired.
[eclipse.generateFeature] The service Plugin converter could not be acquired.
[eclipse.generateFeature] The service Plugin converter could not be acquired.
...
Builds in an Eclipse 4.3.2 IDE continue to succeed. The only thing that differs is the IDE. (The build is launched with "Run in the same JRE as the workspace", making the current IDE relevant.)
Googling for "Plugin converter could not be acquired" resulted in two links, neither of which was particularly helpful.
How can these errors be eliminated?
This took me awhile to track down. This answer is for the benefit of others.
Eclipse 4.4 removed built-in support for Eclipse 2.0 plug-ins without an OSGi bundle manifest. This is intended to encourage migration to OSGi bundles.
Migrating to OSGi bundles is the best approach.
Alternatively, a compatibility plug-in can be added to the IDE. To install it:
Help>Install New Software
Select the site The Eclipse Project Updates - http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/4.4
Expand the category Eclipse Tests, Examples, and Extras.
Check the item Eclipse 2.0 Style Plugin Support
Continue through the rest of the wizard.

Trying to install eclipse Bytecode Outline plugin, missing dependency

I'm trying to install this: http://asm.ow2.org/eclipse/index.html, but I get this error which makes zero sense to me.
I'm running eclipse Kepler Service Release 1, build id 20130919-0819.
Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found.
Software being installed: Bytecode Outline 2.1.0 (de.loskutov.BytecodeOutline.feature.feature.group 2.1.0)
Missing requirement: Bytecode Outline 2.1.0 (de.loskutov.BytecodeOutline.feature.feature.group 2.1.0) requires 'org.eclipse.help.appserver 0.0.0' but it could not be found
After Eclipse 3.3 "org.eclipse.help.appserver" was removed. See: eclipse:help-appserver
Description: This bundle provided implementation of a Tomcat-based web server application for the Eclipse help system. This was replaced in Eclipse 3.3 with a Jetty-based application server. This bundle defines no API and has been unused in the Eclipse platform for many releases.
It seems that the Eclipse ASM Bytecode Outline plugin was not maintained for quite some time which results in all kind of compatibility problems. For newer versions of Eclipse I therefore recommend installing this alternate version instead.
Use the Eclipse marketplace to find a version for the current eclipse version.

Vaadin 7 samples with maven

I am new to Vaadin, I would like to find easy to start Vaadin 7 examples with maven(I do not want to download jars manually). I have seen this github repositores, but had problem when trying to build project. github.com/nfrankel/More-Vaadin
Also are there a official examples from Vaadin.? I use IDEA as a ide.
Thanks.
You'll find the latest stable version of Vaadin at https://vaadin.com/download. Here you are also given the maven archetype so you can build a quickstart with the latest version, so you just run that command and don't have to download any jars.
The link to the wiki that Sean Connolly gave you is also good cause it has some starter tips on what to do when you built the archetype.
The following is also a tutorial for integrating GWT widgets: http://java.dzone.com/articles/using-gwt-widgets-vaadin-7

Eclipse Spring IDE 2.3.2 plug-in vs. SpringSource Tool Suite 2.3.2

I'd like to play around with Spring for an upcoming Java EE project. Is there any difference between the Eclipse Spring IDE 2.3.2 plug-in (in the new Eclipse Marketplace) and the SpringSource Tool Suite (available at SpringSource).
More precisely: In my understanding, the Tool Suite is basically Eclipse 3.5 with a set of plug-ins. So the question is, are the plug-ins provided by the Eclipse Spring IDE 2.3.2 the same or is there any difference in functionality?
Thanks for your help, I hope you understand that the Eclipse platform can be overwhelming for beginners.
SpringSource ToolSuite is Eclipse + Spring IDE + others. The others are things like support for Roo, dmServer, tcServer, Grails, etc.
If all you need is the Spring IDE plugin (which gives support for Spring Framework development), then vanilla Eclipse + Spring IDE is going to be enough.
I quite like the pre-bundled STS versions, though, it's one less thing to worry about.
Feature Comparison: http://download.springsource.com/release/STS/doc/STS-feature_comparison.pdf
With the Eclipse Marketplace Client build in newer Eclipse versions (AFAIK starting with Helios) it is also possible to install Spring Tool Suite into an existing Eclipse. I have just done that.
Even though you can use just Eclipse + Spring IDE plugin, I would suggest going for SpringSource Tool Suite simply because it is stable set of very useful plugins. Since we switched to STS we never looked back :)
If you are already using Eclipse, you are likely using other plugins for your existing projects. Also you are like to use tool supports other than Spring for your future projects.
Spring IDE plugin with your existing Eclipse makes more sense if Spring is not your only requirement.
