Zend Studio on Eclipse "HELIOS"

Question

I'm trying to install Zend Studio on an existing installation of Eclipse HELIOS, but Zend doesn't want to behave. The PDF instructions here say it's for "Eclipse Galileo version 3.5.1 only". Sure enough, I'm getting a strange error on a Helios.

Cannot complete the install because of a conflicting dependency.

I've already upgraded to Helios and don't want to go back to Galileo, so has anyone solved this problem or knows how to get around it?

Answer 1

On my Linux (Ubuntu) I was able to install multiple versions of Eclipse for various purposes. You can install a new Eclipse Galileo version 3.5.1 and it should not effect your Helios.

For a good explanation of how to do this see: http://www.javalobby.org/java/forums/t18678.html

Answer 2

Studio 7.x does not support Helios. Studio 8.x which is just about to go to beta does.
