How to install a specified bundle (com.fasterxml.jackson.core.jackson-core) in Eclipse

I am new to Eclipse plug-in development. I downloaded a completed source code of an Eclipse plug-in. When I tried to export it and install it in my local Eclipse, I encountered an "Install job" problem:

Operation details
Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found. ** requires 'bundle com.fasterxml.jackson.core.jackson-core 0.0.0' but it could not be found


In MANIFEST.MF:

Require-Bundle: com.fasterxml.jackson.core.jackson-core,
 com.fasterxml.jackson.core.jackson-databind


I guess the problem would be solved if I can install com.fasterxml.jackson.core.jackson-core, but I am wondering how can I install it?


Environment:

  • Windows 10 64-bits
  • Eclipse Oxygen.1a Release (4.7.1a)
Solution

  • The easiest way to install it would be from Eclipse Orbit.

    1. Open the install manager (Help > Install New Software....)
    2. Put the relevant Orbit site as location
    3. Check the plugin in question
    4. Walk through the wizard to finish the installation
