Because I work behind a firewall and because all contact with the internet is restricted to internet explorer, I can not take advantage of any of the handy tools you normally use to install software.
I can not seem to find the right combination of eclipse and jboss tools versions so that I can install jboss tools!
I have the following eclipse packages now on my PC
eclipse-dsl-kepler-RC1-win32.zip
eclipse-jee-juno-SR2-win32.zip
eclipse-standard-kepler-RC1-win32.zip
I don't particularly need DSL, but "standard" didnt' seem to have everything I wanted. I'm used to downloading the Jave EE version of eclipse for developers.
I have following jboss tools packages on my PC
jbosstools-3.3.2.Final.aggregate-Update-2013-01-18_18-03-25-H229.zip
jbosstools-4.0.1.Final.aggregate-Update-2013-03-27_16-17-05-B340.zip
I install these via the Install New Software.... feature where you select the archive and eclipse installs the software.
The most recent thing I tried was
eclipse-jee-juno-SR2-win32.zip
jbosstools-3.3.2.Final.aggregate-Update-2013-01-18_18-03-25-H229.zip
From what I've read these both seemed stable. But I got this error
Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found.
Software being installed: org.jboss.tools.maven.project.examples.feature.source.feature.group 1.3.2.v20130112-0608-H143-Final
Missing requirement: JBoss Maven Project Examples 1.3.2.v20130112-0608-H143-Final (org.jboss.tools.maven.project.examples.feature.feature.group 1.3.2.v20130112-0608-H143-Final) requires 'org.eclipse.m2e.feature.feature.group 0.13.0' but it could not be found
Cannot satisfy dependency:
From: org.jboss.tools.maven.project.examples.feature.source.feature.group 1.3.2.v20130112-0608-H143-Final
To: org.jboss.tools.maven.project.examples.feature.feature.group [1.3.2.v20130112-0608-H143-Final]
So I tried
eclipse-jee-juno-SR2-win32.zip
jbosstools-4.0.1.Final.aggregate-Update-2013-03-27_16-17-05-B340.zip
and got this
Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found.

I've tried JBoss dev studio and every thing else I can think of. Nothing works for me!!
This is frustrating, but unfortunately not unexpected. I love eclipse, but I think I'm cursed.
And now I don't have a workable eclipse environment. :-(
(one more thing -- somehow eclipse juno was working earlier in the week, but it was so slow I decided to upgrade to Kepler, but then everything started breaking)
Thanks in advance for the help.
