Cannot Install Eclipse UIMA Plugin

Question

I am following the docs at

http://uima.apache.org/downloads/releaseDocs/2.2.2-incubating/docs/html/overview_and_setup/overview_and_setup.html#ugr.ovv.eclipse_setup

when I try to install the UIMA tools plugin, I get

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

  Cannot satisfy dependency:
    From: UIMA Tools (includes Runtime) 2.8.1 (org.apache.uima.tools.feature.group 2.8.1)
    To: org.apache.uima.jcas.jcasgenp 0.0.0

where can I install this package

org.eclipse.core.internal.compatibility 0.0.0'

so that I can then install

uimaj-ep-jcasgen 2.8.1 (org.apache.uima.jcas.jcasgenp 2.8.1)

I am using Eclipse Neon and was able to install the Eclipse EMF tools for Neon.

Answer 1

Solved it by:

• copying the content of $UIMA_HOME /eclipsePlugins/* to $ECLIPSE_HOME /eclipse/plugins/
  ( where $UIMA_HOME is where you installed the UIMA SDK and $ECLIPSE_HOME is where you installed eclipse)
• Then running eclipse with "-clean"

Note: Using Eclipse neon on linux and uima 2.9
