I can't even figure out why this problem occurred...

Solution

  • In Details the message says that the Apache Common plug-in/bundle (org.apache.commons.collections) of any version (0.0.0) is missing (it is not installed and it is not contained in the ZIP). It is directly required by Boot and indirectly required (because Boot is required or something is required that requires the Boot plug-in/bundle) by the Spring Boot Dashboard View and by the Spring IDE Boot Microservices Dash.

    Download the org.apache.commons.collections_3.2.2.v201511171945.jar file and put it into the dropins folder in your Eclipse installation directory. Restart Eclipse and install STS3 from the ZIP as you did before.

    Alternatively, if you have an internet connection, in the Install dialog check the checkbox Contact all update sites during install to find required software and make sure all required stuff is contained in the configured update sites (Window > Preferences: Install/Update > Available Software Sites).
