AEM Eclipse plugin install failed: Can the m2e feature requirement be removed from the main install

[binw41123584]

The AEM Eclipse plugin install failed with the following error:

Missing requirement: Sling IDE Tools, M2e-based 1.0.6 (org.apache.sling.ide.m2e-feature.feature.group 1.0.6) requires 'org.sonatype.tycho.m2e.feature.feature.group 0.0.0' but it could not be found

This is after removing the m2e.feature.feature option from the Install options (there are 2 install checkmarks for the product, one is for Maven, one is for the main install).

It turns out the main install still requires org.sonatype.tycho.m2e.feature.feature.group. 

Due to build policies, I cannot access external update sites.  The Adobe Update Site was mirrored using the official B3 Mirror product in Eclipse using a b3argg file.    Org.sonatype.tycho.m2e.feature.feature.group isn’t available off any official site any longer, and the content, archive and site.xml files do not give a hint where Adobe is sourcing this from.

Can the m2e feature requirement be removed from the main install ?

Thanks for help

Install "tycho - http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/.m2e/connectors/m2eclipse-tycho/0.6.0/N/0.6.0.201207302152/" via Eclipse "Install new software" fixed the issue
