Description

Describe the bug
On a clean jee-2026-03 Eclipse installation on Ubuntu (x86_64), this plugin can't be installed with the following error:

Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found.
Software being installed: SAP Commerce Cloud - development tools for Eclipse 22.8.0.RELEASE (com.hybris.hyeclipse.feature.feature.group 22.8.0.RELEASE)
Missing requirement: Extgen 22.8.0.RELEASE (com.hybris.hyeclipse.extgen 22.8.0.RELEASE) requires 'osgi.bundle; org.apache.commons.io 0.0.0' but it could not be found
Cannot satisfy dependency:
From: SAP Commerce Cloud - development tools for Eclipse 22.8.0.RELEASE (com.hybris.hyeclipse.feature.feature.group 22.8.0.RELEASE)
To: org.eclipse.equinox.p2.iu; com.hybris.hyeclipse.extgen [22.8.0.RELEASE,22.8.0.RELEASE]

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Download JEE 2026-03 Eclipse from official site (in my case Linux x86_64 version): https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/release/2026-03/r/eclipse-ide-enterprise-java-and-web-developers
  2. Extract the downloaded *.tar.gz
  3. Start Eclipse double clicking the <extracted-archive>/eclipse/eclipse executable
  4. Choose any workspace, even the default one
  5. Go to 'Help' > 'Eclipse Marketplace...'
  6. Input 'sap commerce' in the 'Find:' text input and submit.
  7. This plugin shows up in the results as 'SAP Hybris Commerce Developer Tools for Eclipse 1.4'
  8. Click 'Install'
  9. After some processing, Eclipse states is impossible to install the plugin with following error details (see screenshot):

Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found.
Software being installed: SAP Commerce Cloud - development tools for Eclipse 22.8.0.RELEASE (com.hybris.hyeclipse.feature.feature.group 22.8.0.RELEASE)
Missing requirement: Extgen 22.8.0.RELEASE (com.hybris.hyeclipse.extgen 22.8.0.RELEASE) requires 'osgi.bundle; org.apache.commons.io 0.0.0' but it could not be found
Cannot satisfy dependency:

Expected behavior
It's possible to correctly install the plugin on a clean jee-2026-03 Eclipse installation on Ubuntu (x86_64)

Research direction

Trace the published Extgen and feature dependency metadata, then verify that the plugin installs successfully without the missing-bundle error.
