Eclipse 2025-12 - Oomph installer fails

Development
1

I am trying to setup OpenHAB from scratch but it keeps failing with the following error:

Missing requirement: eclipse-external-annotations-m2e-plugin 2.0.0.202212171629 (org.lastnpe.m2e.core 2.0.0.202212171629) requires ‘osgi.bundle; org.apache.commons.io 0.0.0’ but it could not be found

Here is the full log output.

There are failed tasks.

**Press Back to choose different settings or Cancel to abort.**

Any advice how i can proceed or do the setup manually?

Where did you get the installation source? What’s the OS?

It seems a bit odd that it tries to check out com.github.openhab.2_addons2.main and com.github.openhab.1_infra.main, but perhaps those are just “names” and not actual addresses. Regardless, it makes me wonder if this is an up-to-date installation source.

I just followed the steps documented here: Eclipse IDE | openHAB
Eclipse 2025-12 is downloaded from the official site.

Downloaded Eclipse → Selected OpenHAB + Addons → Next → Error :frowning:

OS: Windows 11.

4

Ok, then something must have broken recently. I don’t use Windows 11, so I have no experience with it.

5

Ah i can select the IDE in the Oomph installer. With anything greater than 2025-12 it breaks.
I now selected 2025-09 and it works.

Would openhab-distro be the correct place to report that as issue?

6

Yes, they always find new ways to break things.

Yes, that would be the place. I’m not sure how easy it is to solve though, it we need to different configurations for different Eclipse versions.. but maybe it’s possible to find one that works for all.
