ABAP in Eclipse Error When Installing New Software

[ali_suwanda]

Hi Everyone,

Hope you are doing good.

There is an issue. I was installing ABAP Core Development Tools (Developer Edition) version 2.68.2 on Eclipse (Mars 4.5) an error message appeared on my screen :

An error occurred while installing the items

session context was:(profile=epp.package.committers, phase=org.eclipse.equinox.internal.p2.engine.phases.Install, operand=null --> [R]com.sap.ide.support.feature_root.cocoa.macosx.x86_64 1.13.4, action=org.eclipse.equinox.internal.p2.touchpoint.natives.actions.ChmodAction).

The action chmod failed - file /private/var/folders/bw/qs0xwjk954ggc3y2mmz30r2m0000gn/T/AppTranslocation/E4993515-1888-4E3F-855F-0A57B5B122E9/d/Eclipse.app/Contents/Eclipse/collectSupportInformation.command does not exist

I thought, i could fixed it by update the Eclipse to Neon 1a. I have done that actually but when i was trying to install ABAP Core Development Tools (Developer Edition) version 2.68.2 i got the same error message.

Please, need you help. Thanks a lot!

Hi Everyone!

I have the same problem installing ABAP Development Tools, HANA tools and HANA Cloud Platform tools on Eclipse Neon 4.6.

Hi,

I have the same problem with neon. A fresh installation and when I try to install SAP HANA Tools I am getting this error "... collectSupportInformation.command does not exist".

I looked into the Eclipse.app folder and this file does not exist!

So what to do?

Cheers,

Thomas

Looks like you have to run eclipse as root to install this. For Mac this would be

sudo Eclipse.app/Contents/MacOS/eclipse

And then you have to accept that you are installing unsigned content.

Hello Thomas,

Apologized for the late reply. You are correct, I installed it with root authorization. So before you install ABAP Development Tools using this menu "Help->Install New Software", you should run eclipse with this command sudo open "/Application/Eclipse.app/Contents/MacOS/eclipse".

After that you proceed with usual step, Install new software and so on.

It should be fine.

Hello Ali,

I run my Mac with Admin privileges, using the app to get the Admin privileges.

sudo open "/Application/Eclipse.app/Contents/MacOS/eclipse" does not work. I got error message that

this file does not exist.

I have installed JAVA Version 8 Update 131 (Build 1.8.0_131-b11).

I did all steps mentioned here: https://tools.hana.ondemand.com/#hanatools

So what is still wrong?

Best regards

Sven
