Eclipse Mars plugin dependencies issues

Question

I am trying to intall Jaspersoft Studio from Eclipse Market place (Mars Version).

The problem is that, the operation cannot performed due to dependencies.

Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found.
  Software being installed: Jaspersoft Studio feature 6.3.1.final (com.jaspersoft.studio.feature.feature.group 6.3.1.final)
  Missing requirement: JasperReports Feature 6.3.1.final (net.sf.jasperreports.feature.feature.group 6.3.1.final) requires 'org.apache.commons.dbcp 1.4.0' but it could not be found
  Cannot satisfy dependency:
    From: Jaspersoft Studio feature 6.3.1.final (com.jaspersoft.studio.feature.feature.group 6.3.1.final)
    To: net.sf.jasperreports.feature.feature.group [6.3.1.final]

I try to resolve the problem by installing org.apache.commons.dbcp , I downloaded the zip package, and trying to install by doing following steps. (Help -> Install New Software -> Add -> Archieve).

But i got Error: No Software site found at jar:file:/E:/commons-dbcp2-2.1.1-bin.zip!/. Do you wish to edit the location.

I already search and looked at some solution but non of them help me.

Am i doing something wrong? I am looking for solution or alternative ways.

Any help would be highly appreciated. Thanks.

Answer 1

When I have issue with the marketplace installer, I usually install the software through the UpdateSite URL listed in the Marketplace Page.

So, I checked the Eclipse Marketplace page for Jasper Studio , and I copied the update site URL, as you can see below.

But, when I tried to access the update site webpage, I realized the page is not available. (perhaps is just a problem of SourceForge)

I wonder if, in your case, the problem is caused by missing update site content.

I suggest you try installing JasperSoft Studio via Update Site URL. If this does not work, I suggest contacting the developers and ask them whether the update site URL is mantained or not.

Hope this Helps

Try this Update site for JasperSoft Studio Plugin. It works for me. It will work for you. https://sourceforge.net/projects/jasperstudio/files/updatesite/6.3.1/
