I hope would be any solution soon

Comment 3 Gus Heck 2010-03-02 00:10:17 EST

Sadly, it seems that VE is a dead project. I haven't been able to find any current build of eclipse it installs on, and one would have thought that someone on the project would have responded to this in some way by now :(. By the way, better than commenting with more versions that don't work would be voting for the bug... adding comments spams the CC list, so don't do it unless you find something more useful than yet another version where VE won't install. Unfortunately I'm too busy on other things to take a crack at this.

Comment 4 Yves YANG 2010-03-02 01:27:26 EST

VE is not dead. Please read this page for installation:

That's good news, but I did read that page, what do you propose that I missed?

Comment 6 Dany 2010-03-12 03:58:34 EST

Why i still could not install ve, from wiki said DO NOT USE "Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers, on my galileo emf version already version 2.5 do i should downgrade it first. this is so frustrating Someone please help...

Comment 7 Gus Heck 2010-03-12 07:27:03 EST

One thing I wonder is why there is a dependency conflict. For this to happen either eclipse or VE must be specifying an exact version rather than a version greater than N. The question is which and why? Usually this sort of thing happens because the dependent library broke backwards compatibility, or the developers of the client software used non-public API's.

Did EMF break backwards compatibility? Is it eclipse (or some package used by it) or VE that is relying on the old behavior?  Has anyone figured out why this is harder than updating whatever file defines the dependencies? (either for VE or for Eclipse)

Comment 8 Wolfgang 2010-03-23 16:28:08 EDT

Using the eclipse cpp package I was able to install the Visual editor yesterday. 

I'm not sure whether this can help to solve the problem and whether this is a good workaround to get the VE installed with eclipse galileo but it seems to work for me for now.

CPP package? the C++ version? how is that useful for swing development? Were you then able to add in the java developer stuff afterward?

Comment 10 Andreas Owczarek 2010-03-24 11:06:30 EDT

I have had the same problems installing VE with any Eclipse Java Edition even these ones, where installation should work according to the VE-Wiki (e.g. Eclipse for Java and Report Developers or the one Gus Heck tried).

The Solution for an WinXP Professional System following the steps below:
1. Install the latest Eclipse SDK (Classic) Edition, Version: 3.5.2, Build id: M20100211-1343
2. Download the Update Site zip from http://www.eclipse.org/vep/downloads/ (Online Installation failed, cause of server timeout?!)
3. Install VE from the archive-file.

@Gus Heck: Eclipse Classic supports Java (Swing) developement..

As I understand it, the jdt has been installed during the VE installation automatically, because it is defined as needed. 

I was able to add menu items to a swing programm and can see the VE grafics. So seems to work OK.

Comment 12 Richard Kulp 2010-04-08 10:12:54 EDT

It looks like it is due to JEM (Java EMF Model) being supplied by both VE and WST and they are conflicting levels.

Comment 13 Eric Bresie 2010-04-09 10:08:31 EDT

From EMF forum post:

>> So VE needs (and/or provdes) one version of JEM and WST needs (and/or 
>> provides) another version JEM.

> I'm not sure, but that's a VE question or something to ask in the

>> Unless there is a specific reason for one...Does JEM need to be

>I seem to recall issues with the Galileo version of VE not installing

What is preventing VE from using the latest JEM version?

This bug is too old. It is out of date.

In case of the conflit error, please don't check ROOT level. Select a specific option such as "VE SDK" and leave eclipse update manager does the work.

Comment 16 Roland 2010-07-05 01:56:27 EDT

Well, even with just trying to install VE SDK and nothing else, I get:

Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found.

As Gus Heck has raised before, what dependency conflict actually exists? Did EMF break backwards compatibility? Why does it seem that a specific EMF version is required rather than a more generic >= N ?

Comment 17 Matthijs Wensveen 2010-09-16 18:14:18 EDT

I also experience the "Missing requirement: Visual Editor Common Data Editor" problem. Might this be because it is unavailable for 64 bit platforms? Just guessing...

Comment 18 sarim khan 2010-09-18 03:20:35 EDT

Hi,

I am trying to install Visual Editor in a Fresh Downloaded Eclipse IDE for Java Developers,

"eclipse-java-helios-linux-gtk.tar.gz"

Then i downloaded "VE-Update-1.4.0.zip"

Then i tried to install VE from this Zip file. I comes with many errors, like here , something related to EMF.
Then i Downloaded "emf-runtime-2.4.2.zip"
Then i extracted emf-runtime-2.4.2.zip to my eclipse folder.

Then again i tried to install VE, this time no EMF error. 
Now it's shown as follows,
______________________________________________________________

Now see, How to deal with this ?

And i have a request to you, Is there anyone having eclipse helios linux for java and with visual editor installed? Then can anyone send this to me by FTP ?

Comment 19 François TROMPAT 2010-09-24 12:41:59 EDT

I had a similar problem as the one reported by Gus Heck, Roland and  Sarim Khan
on a Vista PC (where exists Eclipse 3.2)
with Eclipse 3.6 Version: Helios Release Build id: 20100617-1415.

As a newcommer to Java and Eclipse, I welcome any help.
