Methods tried to install:

  1. Using update site: https://eclipse-uc.sonarlint.org
  2. Update through Eclipse Marketplace
  3. Downloaded the offline Eclipse site from: https://binaries.sonarsource.com/SonarLint-for-Eclipse/releases/org.sonarlint.eclipse.site-7.9.0.66038.zip

All resulted in the same error.

Hey there.

Do installing other plugins work (basically: is the issue isolated to just SonarLint)?

Hello @bennycah,

This is a known problem, here is the ticket.

The only workaround we can propose today is to use a more recent version of Eclipse (2021-06 or above).
