Cannot install Oracle Weblogic Server Tools in eclipse


I came across this error when installing Oracle Weblogic Server Tools from eclipse:

Software being installed: Oracle WebLogic Server Tools 17.2.0.201806071916 (oracle.eclipse.tools.weblogic.feature.group 17.2.0.201806071916)Software currently installed: JustJ OpenJDK Hotspot JRE Complete 15.0.2.v20210201-0955 (org.eclipse.justj.openjdk.hotspot.jre.full.feature.group 15.0.2.v20210201-0955)Cannot satisfy dependency:Cannot satisfy dependency:Cannot satisfy dependency:Cannot satisfy dependency:Cannot satisfy dependency:Cannot satisfy dependency:

Please help. I searched for the solution for so long but nothing worked.


Solution

  • I recently installed oracle weblogic server tools in eclipse 2021-06. The steps required in my environment were as follows:-

    For me, the key was making sure https://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/photon/stable/updates/ was an available software site so eclipse could download some other dependencies required by Oracle Weblogic Server Tools. Also making sure nothing else except Oracle Weblogic Server Tools was selected helped reduce the dependencies that were required to be installed.

    I've successfully installed weblogic server tools in eclipse 2022-06. I did have to configure eclipse 2022-06 to run using java 11 instead of java 16 that it comes with to get this working. I did this by creating a shortcut to eclipse and adding the -vm option to the command line when launching eclipse.
