Troubleshooting
Problem
Attempts to install the Groovy plug-in into IBM Rational Functional Tester (RFT) 8.5.x results in "The operation cannot be completed....".
Symptom
You use RFT 8.5 that runs in an Eclipse 4.2.X shell, Juno. You can install the Groovy plugin in Juno. Therefore you expect that you can also install Groovy in a shell that contains the RFT plugins. However, the installation fails with dependency errors.
The full error message is as follows:
The operation cannot be completed. See the details.
Error Details:
Cannot complete the install because of a conflicting dependency.

You also cannot install the Groovy plugin into a shell with RFT. The installation fails with a similar error message.
Cause
RFT does not support shell sharing with Groovy. The Juno editions of Eclipse have limited possibilities to install plug-ins into shared installations. This has been identified as Bug 395516 - [shared] Allow patches to install in shared installs.
Resolving The Problem
The workarounds are as follows.
- Use Ant instead.
- Install Groovy on a separate Eclipse Juno shell.
