Window Builder FAILS TO INSTALL

[echavez-eb]

I tried to install Window builder from here:
https://download.eclipse.org/windowbuilder/latest/

I also tried installing by manually downloading the zip file. The "create new visual classes" button doesn't display.
I'm using Eclipse 2021-12

Here are the errors returned by eclipse when using the "install new software" option:

An error occurred while collecting items to be installed
session context was:(profile=C__Program Files_eclipse, phase=org.eclipse.equinox.internal.p2.engine.phases.Collect, operand=, action=).

Hi,

Can you please try using https://download.eclipse.org/windowbuilder/lastgoodbuild/ instead of https://download.eclipse.org/windowbuilder/latest/ ?

[EinzKleinNico]

You could also try to download WB from eclipse marketplace. Therefor you open eclipse, go to "Help" then down to "Eclipse Marketplace". After klicking on eclipse marketplace a new window should open. Type WindowBuilder into the search field and then download the latest version of WindowBuilder.
I use the current Eclipse version 2021-12 (4.22.0) and WindowBuilder Nightly Build 1.9.8.pre

Hi, I get the following error when I try to get WindowBuilder. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? TIA

Are you inside a corporate firewall. Those often inject certificates into the network traffic; ones not in the cacerts of the JRE/JDK with which Eclipse is running. You might try http instead of https...

Thanks Merks. I am inside a corporate firewall. Tried using http instead of https and still get an error.

[merks]

You might try this:

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=567504#c28

Failing that, you'll need to import the certificate that injected by your firewall into the cacerts of the JDK you are using.

Another alternative is to download the zip and install from that:

https://download.eclipse.org/windowbuilder/latest/repository.zip

Thanks Merks. I tried repository.zip. It seems to start well but I get the following error. Suggestions? :
Cannot complete the install because some dependencies are not satisfiable

[merks]

It this truncated or is it the complete list failure message?

I can see that org.eclipse.wb.core is present with exactly the required version:

[anthonypasdf]

hi Merks,WindowBuilderInstallIssues.docx
are you able to view this Word doc?

[merks]

Try just these:

I think the other things will require other up sites to be available. Note that I unchecked the last check mark to test that this can be installed purely from this website. Or maybe unchecking that last thing is what makes it work...

[anthonypasdf]

Is this what you suggested I try? thx

[anthonypasdf]

it looks like its referencing 1.11.xxxx but I'm installing 1.10. Is that correct?

[wimjongman]

It needs Java 11. You are still on Java 8?

[jalozanoo]

Hi.
I tried to install windowbuilder 1.10.0 from eclipse marketplace but it shows this error.

An error occurred while collecting items to be installed session context was:(profile=C__Program Files_eclipse, phase=org.eclipse.equinox.internal.p2.engine.phases.Collect, operand=, action=). Result of processing steps. OK OK OK Public key not found for -9147676190077153272. OK Result of processing steps. OK OK OK Public key not found for -9147676190077153272. OK

Could you help me, please?

[merks]

What version of Eclipse are you trying to install into? It sounds like an old one that doesn't have properly function support for PGP keys.

[jalozanoo]

Right!
I had Eclipse 2021. I've already installed eclipse 2023 and it works perfectly. Thank you so much.

[Rity11]

HI,

It doesn't install all the window builder components, it says it lacks support for WTP/WST but I don't understand how to install it, of course it doesn't show the gui can you help me thanks
