Hi Michael,
The error message is incorrect. Or more accurately, it is one in a set
of error messages and the Eclipse UI is only showing you this one. The
root cause of the installation failure is being hidden due to an
Eclipse bug.
I'm not sure what is already installed in your Eclipse, so it is
difficult for me to diagnose this.
Anyhow, a couple of thoughts.
First, make sure that "Include items that are already installed" is
not checked on the first screen.
Then, only select M2Eclipse in the tree. The eclipse update manager
will automatically install any needed dependencies, you don't need to
check them.
Alternatively, if you don't mind starting with a clean Eclipse, the
following should work:
1) Add the following update sites:
http://m2eclipse.sonatype.org/update
http://subclipse.tigris.org/update_1.4.x/
http://download.eclipse.org/tools/ajdt/34/update
2) Check only the "M2Eclipse" tree.
3) Hit "Install..."

Richard,
I just tried the update one more time, only requesting that it
install m2eclipse and I only get that one error that I described
previously. It doesn't seem to complain about any plugin
dependencies, only not being able to find a solution for
org.eclipse.ui. Why is it not finding the user interface module (I
assume that's what UI stands for)? I obviously have a user interface.

I guess I wasn't clear in my explination of the events. That's
exactly what I've been doing. I started with the first error message
about having a newer version of AJDT Source than was being
requested. I unchecked that option. The list updated again. Then the
top message was pretty much the same for JDT Weaving, so I unchecked
it too. There were two seperate messages about Subclipse already
having been installed, so updates would be done instead. I unchecked
both of those even though it would have done the update. The only
error left in the list is, "Cannot find a solution satisfying the
following requirements org.eclipse.ui [3.4.2.M20090204-0800]". I
don't understand the reason for this error message based on what I
see in my configuration details: org.eclipse.ui (3.4.2
M20090204-0800) "Eclipse UI" [Active].

Hi Michael,
Sometimes people don't notice that there is a vertical scrollbar in
the error message window. It's pretty small. Sometimes a useful
message is hiding below.
But unfortunately, often times the error messages that come from the
Eclipse update manager are not useful at all.
Anyhow, we need to narrow this down.
After the install fails you will be asked if you will be asked if
you want to review the selection. Say "yes", and then you can
uncheck features until the error messages go away.
I would start with "AJDT" and "subclipse integration", since they
are the most common culprits.

Shouldn't that mean that the 'solution' that the update manager is
complaining about is actually there?

Thanks, but I'm still getting errors. I already had a later version
of AJDT source code, so I had to uncheck that. The same was true
for JDT weaving, so I unchecked that as well. There were several
items that it said were alread installed but would do an update
instead. However the "Cannot find a solution satisfying the
following requirements org.eclipse.ui [3.4.2.M20090204-0800]" error
is still there.
Yes, it's Eclipse version 3.4.2, build M20090211-1700.

Hi Michael,
Are you attempting to install into Eclipse 3.4?
The error messages from the Eclipse update manager are less than
helpful (to say the least).
If you add the following two update sites (in addition to the
M2Eclipse update site) then you should be able to install all of
the M2E plugins in one go:
http://subclipse.tigris.org/update_1.4.x
http://download.eclipse.org/tools/ajdt/34/update

I have upgraded to the latest Eclipse version for JEE before
attempting the plugin install. I was using the directions in the
M:DG book and tried to install all of the dependencies, including
the optional ones, but no luck. Lots of errors about no support
for 'xyz', etc. and errors for no repositories found for 'abc'. To
try and get around that I attempted to do each of the dependencies
one by one. If I got errors on the optionals I left them out. I
believe I correctly have all of the dependencies that were listed.
I've even taken out the optional stuff from m2eclipse install and
eliminated any errors that I was getting because something was
already installed. I'm down to my last error: Cannot find a
solution satisfying the following requirements org.eclipse.ui
[3.4.2.M20090204-0800]. I'm relatively new to Eclipse so I'm not
sure what that means, but to me it looks like it's something that
should have been included in my Eclipse download. What am I doing
wrong and how can I fix this? Thanks.
