Installation of Eclipse Plugin fails in Helios

Question

While trying to install Subclipse into ODM Enterprise (Helios based) the following error appears

An error occurred while installing the items session context was:(profile=SDKProfile, phase=org.eclipse.equinox.internal.p2.engine.phases.Install, operand=null --> [R]com.ibm.icu.source 4.2.1.v20100412, action=org.eclipse.equinox.internal.p2.touchpoint.eclipse.actions.AddSourceBundleAction). The artifact file for osgi.bundle,com.ibm.icu.source,4.2.1.v20100412 was not found.

this happens regardless which Installation is selected (Online/Offline Update Site/ Dropins). Subclipse does not require this plugin.

Answer 1

I found the solution. After reading Forum post I looked in the right direction. This error is completely misleading. In my case it was, that the eclipse directory was owned by admin and I couldn't write. After running Eclipse with admin privileges it worked as expected.
