I'm trying to add the CDT to an existing Eclipse JDT installation.

I'm following the process below:

1. Open Eclipse


2. Help->Install New Software


3. I click the Add button


4. I enter CDT as name and the link http://download.eclipse.org/tools/cdt/releases/juno as location for the repositories. (btw the same error occurs if I try adding a local archive after downloading it from the eclipse site - CDT master)


5. I select both CDT MAIN and CDT OPTIONAL features with a check-box to be installed and press next

In the next window I'm then prompted with the following error:

Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could
not be found. Software being installed: C/C++ Remote Launch
6.0.0.201302132326 (org.eclipse.cdt.launch.remote.feature.group 6.0.0.201302132326) Missing requirement: C/C++ Remote Debug Launcher 2.4.0.201302132326 (org.eclipse.cdt.launch.remote 2.4.0.201302132326) requires 'bundle org.eclipse.rse.ui [3.0.0,4.0.0)' but it could not be
found Cannot satisfy dependency:
From: C/C++ Remote Launch 6.0.0.201302132326 (org.eclipse.cdt.launch.remote.feature.group 6.0.0.201302132326)
To: org.eclipse.cdt.launch.remote [2.4.0.201302132326]

The weird thing is that if I just select the CDT MAIN features installation in the previous screen all goes fine and I am asked to accept the terms of license before installation actually takes place.

So I have 2 questions:

1. Any idea of what could solve the problem?


2. Do you believe it's important to install the CDT OPTIONAL features for standard programming and debugging?
