[FIXED] Cannot install Oracle Weblogic Server Tools in eclipse

Issue

I came across this error when installing Oracle Weblogic Server Tools from eclipse:

Software being installed: Oracle WebLogic Server Tools 17.2.0.201806071916 (oracle.eclipse.tools.weblogic.feature.group 17.2.0.201806071916)Software currently installed: JustJ OpenJDK Hotspot JRE Complete 15.0.2.v20210201-0955 (org.eclipse.justj.openjdk.hotspot.jre.full.feature.group 15.0.2.v20210201-0955)Cannot satisfy dependency:Cannot satisfy dependency:Cannot satisfy dependency:Cannot satisfy dependency:Cannot satisfy dependency:Cannot satisfy dependency:

Please help. I searched for the solution for so long but nothing worked.

Solution

I recently installed oracle weblogic server tools in eclipse 2021-06. The steps required in my environment were as follows:-

• In eclipse, go to Help > Install New Software...
• Click on Manage... to view the available software sites
• Make sure https://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/photon/stable/updates/ is in the list of available software sites (click Add... to add it if required).
• Back in the Install dialog, enter the following site into the Work with: input field http://download.oracle.com/otn_software/oepe/12.2.1.10/photon/repository/
• When selecting which software to install, only select Tools > Oracle Weblogic Server Tools
• Click Next and complete the installation.

For me, the key was making sure https://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/photon/stable/updates/ was an available software site so eclipse could download some other dependencies required by Oracle Weblogic Server Tools. Also making sure nothing else except Oracle Weblogic Server Tools was selected helped reduce the dependencies that were required to be installed.
