Can't install MobileFirst 7.1.0 studio on Eclipse Luna 4.4.2


I'm trying to install Mobile First 7.1.0 platform studio on Luna Service Release 2 (4.4.2) - 64bit as written in Mobile First requirements. My java is as following:

java version "1.8.0_65"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_65-b17)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.65-b01, mixed mode)

I'm trying to install from Eclipse Marketplace and after few minutes of installation I get the following error:

Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found.
  Software being installed: IBM jQuery Mobile Tools 7.1.0.00-20151219-1535 (com.ibm.webtools.jquery.tools.licensed.feature.feature.group 7.1.0.00-20151219-1535)

Any help would be highly appreciated.


Solution

  • See here: Issues installing MobileFirst Studio v7.1

    This has been identified as a defect introduced in a recent iFix and is in the process of being fixed. I will update this answer once a fixed version will be available via Eclipse Marketplace.

    As a workaround you can install an older release and then select to update it using the "faulty" release through Eclipse Marketplace. The update will work as the problem manifests itself only in new installations.

    For reference, this is APAR - PI54604 CANNOT INSTALL MOBILEFIRST PLATFORM STUDIO 7.1 ON ECLIPSE.
