Attempting to update my install, for me, results in this:
Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found.
Software being installed: Counterclockwise 0.34.0.STABLE001 (ccw 0.34.0.STABLE001)
Missing requirement: Marketplace Client 1.4.0.v20150618-1659 (org.eclipse.epp.mpc.feature.
Cannot satisfy dependency:

To: org.eclipse.epp.mpc.feature.group [1.4.0.v20150618-1659]

an eclipse bug if my memory is not
failing. They had removed Marketplace
by mistake.
Are you using the latest version of Eclipse ?

It's *standalone* CCW 0.28.0 trying to update itself to 0.34.0. There's no separate Eclipse to separately update first. I have tried selecting each item in the updater thingy separately, one at a time, and updating them, only stopping if it says the component is already up to date, and all of them are now up to date except the top two CCW-specific ones, which have the dependency error. I also tried mass-selecting everything at once and clicking update. So no, there's nothing it seems that I can "update first" and then update the rest to make it work.
If they "had" removed something by mistake, some time ago, doesn't that imply that they realized their error and put it back a nearly-as-long time ago, and therefore the problem should no longer exist?

Well, “standalone” CCW is still Eclipse under the hood, right? What I suspect here is that it packaged a stripped down Eclipse that is no longer capable of updating itself past some change that the Eclipse project made. I’d recommend installing an up-to-date version of Eclipse itself, then installing an up-to-date version of CCW *as a plugin* and then I think you’ll have more luck going forward.
You can reuse the same workspace location so the newly-installed Eclipse + CCW plugin combo should pick up all your settings and projects and so on.
(FWIW, I’ve seen similar problems with other projects that offered both a bundled Eclipse install and a plugin install: at some point the bundled install just breaks due to Eclipse updates – using a plugin is nearly always a safer option, in my experience)

That's hours and hundreds of megabytes of downloading, and then who knows how much labor configuring things. I'd be happy to just have my REPL back in 0.28.0, to be honest.

> That's hours and hundreds of megabytes of downloading,
For that to take “hours” to download, your Internet download speed would have to be around 1Mbps (or lower) which must make all sorts of aspects of development with the JVM and Maven/Leiningen dependencies rather painful for you… ☹

p.s. Downloading a fresh Eclipse and CCW and configuring it all from scratch would likely have taken less time than you’ve spent on this email thread ☺
