This
can be due to various versions in the selected repositories, or because a particular
package is not in the chosen repositories, in which case, you will need to add a new
repository to your list. Sometimes you can just click on the Select Required Packages
button, and the necessary packages will be selected from the chosen repositories.
This delicate balance of choosing the correct packages, required dependency
packages, and repositories is the reason I usually recommend that people use the
All-in-One installation method.
Now, with your packages selected, you can click on Next. The packages will then be
downloaded from the selected repositories. Once finished downloading, a prompt
will come up to install the packages you selected. You can either confirm each
package individually, or just select Install All. Once completed, you will be asked
to restart Eclipse. At this point, you can follow the steps to install iText given earlier,
and your BIRT installation will be complete.
