Hi I can confirm the issue. The groovy feature depends on the plugin org.eclipse.jdt.core version "3.5.2.20100319-1100-e35-RELEASE", which looks like a home made version (but it could also be an official "post release" update). Perhaps upstream could be convinced to build against "3.5.2.v_981_R35x" instead. I am fairly certain Fedora uses the same version of o.e.jdt.core for their eclipse, so it would fix the issue on Fedora installs as well.
There are 3 other alternatives; first have groovy packed via Ubuntu and install it via Ubuntu's repositories (too late for Lucid, but should be doable via a ppa); uninstall Ubuntu's eclipse and use the one from eclipse.org or finally mess with the configuration allowing you to install new versions of the "core" plugins. Mind you that the two last options are not supported by Ubuntu, so we cannot help you if it ends up "blowing up". Also, next time please provide the apport data for the bug as well (e.g. running apport-collect <bug-no> from a terminal); it helps us find the problem (or rule out issues). ~Niels ** Changed in: eclipse (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed -- Dependency error when installing Groovy-Eclipse https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/575376 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
