Can't install Weblogic Server Tools plugin

User_7I7AW

I want to add Oracle WebLogic Server Tools in Eclipse 2020.06 but whatever I try it always get the same error (attached). Plugin is added to local company repository.

What is the OS?

Have you checked that the workspace directory is actually writable?

On some Windows platforms, the Program Files directory is protected so apps can't automatically write there. The simplest solution  is just to install Eclipse into a user-writable location instead. For example, C:\Java\Eclipse

Should be able to just move your entire eclipse directory, there's no registry entries or anything else that ties Eclipse to the place where you extracted it.

Hi,

it's Windows 10.

I have already installed "clean" Eclipse in C drive directly. The same problem occurred.

What is the Java version? You will need a Java runtime environment (JRE) to use Eclipse (Java SE 11 or greater is recommended). Some of the packages come with a JRE.

Hi,

Eclipse works properly, it's the plugin installation issue.

How is Oracle WebLogic Server Tools in Eclipse installed? Is it from Help -> Install New Software...

2020-06 (4.16) is supported. What URL is used? Such as http://download.oracle.com/otn_software/oepe/12.2.1.10/photon/repository/

I suggest following the steps in https://blogs.oracle.com/weblogicserver/post/weblogic-server-14-in-eclipse-ide-for-java-ee-developers

1. Click "Help" Menu.
2. Click "Eclipse Marketplace..." menu item.
3. Enter the name of the plugin you want.
4. Click "Install" when the plugin appears in the Marketplace List.
5. Restart Eclipse.

Install Eclipse into a user-writable location instead. For example, C:\Java\Eclipse and not the the Program Files directory, which has space and may not be user writable.
