Mylyn conflict when trying to install #812

Hello,

I cannot install Vaadin plugin on eclipse due to dependency conflict.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Install latest eclipse (2023-12) for linux https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/release/2023-12/r/eclipse-ide-enterprise-java-and-web-developers

  2. Attempt to install Vaadin plugin from the Eclipse marketplace

mylyn_conflict

I tested earlier versions of Eclipse and it seems that 2023-3 is the last version that works.

Hello @JaakkoHintsala, thanks for reporting! What will happen if you would select "Update my installation to be compatible with the items being installed"?

JaakkoHintsala commented 7 months ago

Hello, Thanks for the quick response.

if I proceed with the "Update my installation to be compatible with the items being installed" choice, the Vaadin plugin does install, but the Mylyn stuff will be removed.

Small follow-up:

This is the error message:

Cannot complete the install because of a conflicting dependency.

On Eclipse 2024-3 linux

Apparently Vaadin requires some 2020 mylyn screenshot package that causes a conflict with eclipse's Mylyn.

Perhaps this problem is caused by the org.apache.ivyde.eclipse dependency as it requires some very old eclipse versions.

It turns out that besides the Vaadin designer you don't need this plugin for anything. Vaadin license also works without this.

So my advice to anyone developing a Vaadin application in Eclipse:

Just get the latest Eclipse IDE and don't install this plug-in. (as long as this is not fixed)
