Description
Have tried a number of things, but nothing seems to result in a good installation of GEP.
I tried to install the GEP on my existing Eclipse (Galieleo SR1) but got dependency errors. So I uninstalled the thing it was complaining about and tried again. That succeeded without errors, but the New menu item had no Groovy Project entry at all.
So I moved /usr/local/eclipse to /usr/local/eclipse.old, and moved ~/.eclipse to ~/.eclipse.old. Then I downloaded a fresh tar.gz of Eclipse Galieleo SR1 and installed that (as root) under /usr/local (so it landed as eclipse). Then I installed the plugin using http://dist.springsource.org/milestone/GRECLIPSE/e3.5. But again, there's not a single Groovy item in the menu. I verified that the feature is installed.
So I deleted /usr/local/eclipse and ~/.eclipse. I reinstalled Eclipse Galieleo SR1, and installed the plugin using http://dist.codehaus.org/groovy/distributions/greclipse/snapshot/e3.5. But again, nothing Groovy about it.
I should say that on Windows XP, I did get a fresh Eclipse and GEP installed...I just can't do it on my Ubuntu 9.04 development box.
It seems like you might be hitting this problem:

Are you running with a shared installation of groovy-eclipse? And is the install directory writable by the user of Eclipse? And if the answer is yes and no, then can you change that and use a non-shared install of Eclipse instead? This may address your install problem.
