Problem of istalling Scala IDE in Spring SourceTool Suite

If you have the freedom to choose your own IDE, then doing so is sort
of like choosing an ice cream flavor. You have to find what works for
you.

Many people swear by Eclipse but I find it maddening and difficult.
Others hate JetBrains IDEA but I find it almost as easy to use as
breathing.

Your mileage may vary. Try the different options and decide for yourself.

Let me guess, are you using Windows and you "installed" Eclipse
somewhere in the system where your user doesn't have full permissions?
In that case, you need to run Eclipse with Administrator permissions
to install new plug-ins.

Hope this helps,

Plugins for eclipse can be tricky. It seems you have a problem with
the dependencies.
Try the other way round. Download a new plain eclipse then install
scala IDE, it should download the other plugins with the required
versions.
Then try to install STS. If it fails because it requires different
versions of the same plugins you can try with an earlier version.
