Yup, you are correct.
It doesn't just look like it was copied from the update site, it was.
We that to patch the site to keep it usable due to the problems we
were having with the release of the Eclipse 3.4.2 GEF plugins.
For the time being I've made an archive site (with correct p2
metadata) with previous versions at http://m2eclipse.sonatype.org/update-archive
.
This will all be fixed properly for 0.9..8.

By the way, Rich, the p2 metadata for primary update at http://m2eclipse.sonatype.org/update/
site is incorrect. It does not include information about the
previous versions and look like copied from the dev update site.
Compare, for example, what p2 update manager show for http://m2eclipse.sonatype.org/update/
and what it show for http://m2eclipse.sonatype.org/update/site.xml
when "show only the latest version of available software" option is
unchecked on the "available software" tab.

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.

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.
