Error while installing e(fx)clipse plugin on Eclipse Mars.1 IDE


I'm trying to install the eclipse plugin e(fx)clipse on my eclipse mars.1(4.5.1). Currently when I go to Help -> Install New Software... , Paste this link (http://download.eclipse.org/efxclipse/updates-released/2.0.0/site) into the "work with" text box, click on the box to install "e(fx)clipse - install", and click next, I get an erro message stating:

Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found.
Software being installed: e(fx)clipse - IDE 2.0.0.201506111511 (org.eclipse.fx.ide.feature.feature.group 2.0.0.201506111511)

I do not know why I would be getting this error message because a couple of weeks ago I installed it on my laptop and it worked just fine. I've googled this and all that comes up are errors like this but only on previous versions of eclipse. Please help and thanks in advance

Here are some screen shots:

Solution

  • Have you already follow this guide step-by-step? https://www.eclipse.org/efxclipse/install.html#for-the-lazy

    I used it on Luna (4.4.1), theoretically should work also on mars...
