    WebTools Platform? Can't install!

    I am having a little difficulty installing WebTools Platform via the Software Updates in Eclipse.
    I get an error:
    WST Common UI (3.0.1.v200807220139-7C78ELWE8VrRVorIr-jb1AsOaXHW) requires feature "org.eclipse.gef (3.4.0)", or compatible.

    whilst this error occurs I cannot continue with the install.
    Do you have any advice for this install?

    Don't take life to seriously... in the end nobody gets out alive anyway!
