eclipse luna support (workaround provided)

Opened this issue · 22 comments

I tried to install veloeclipse 2.0.8 in eclipse luna via the update site but 
kept getting a "Failed to prepare partial IU: [R]com.googlecode.veloeclipse.ui 
2.0.8" error right at the end.

In the .log file I found the following:

!ENTRY org.eclipse.equinox.p2.publisher.eclipse 4 0 2014-06-27 10:46:37.072
!MESSAGE Unable to acquire PluginConverter service during generation for:

This led me to https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=421979 where 
someone suggested installing a compatibility plugin.

So, go to Help -> Install New Software..., choose "The Eclipse Project Updates 
- http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/4.4" from the "Work with" list 
and then in the "Eclipse Tests, Examples, and Extras" category check "Eclipse 
2.0 Style Plugin Support" and install it. After restarting Eclipse, install 
veloeclipse again and this time the installation will succeed.

The workaround works perfectly. Thank you so much dude. You are the best!

BTW. If you find that there is no color in your *.vm files, try to close and 
re-open again. You'll get it.
