LpcXpresso and plugins

I have problems to install plugins on LpcXpresso LPCXpresso v6.1.4 [Build 194] [2014-01-15].
There are a lot of useful plugins for Eclipse that I normally use in Eclipse and in previous LpcXpresso releases.

The more important for me are Atlassian (a plugin to connect to JIRA and Confluence servers), Mylyn, Egit, Eclox and Natural (it requires Xtext also).

This is the error I have installing Atlassian plugins:

Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found.
  Software currently installed: LPCXpresso 6.1.4.201401140032 (com.crt.lpcxpresso.juno.cross 6.1.4.201401140032)
  Missing requirement: LPCXpresso 6.1.4.201401140032 (com.crt.lpcxpresso.juno.cross 6.1.4.201401140032) requires 'com.crt.lpcxpresso.juno.cross.root.feature.feature.group [6.1.4.201401140032]' but it could not be found

This for Egit and/or Mylyn:

Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found.
  Software currently installed: LPCXpresso 6.1.4.201401140032 (com.crt.lpcxpresso.juno.cross 6.1.4.201401140032)
  Missing requirement: LPCXpresso 6.1.4.201401140032 (com.crt.lpcxpresso.juno.cross 6.1.4.201401140032) requires 'com.crt.documentation.feature.group [6.1.4.201401140032]' but it could not be found

and so on.

I assumed that every update should be downloaded from Juno update site.

1. Why in the newer releases there are so many problems to install a plugin?
2. Where can I find and where can I add the missing modules?

I didn't know this Windows rule, I supposed that every application with a JVM in its path should use it instead of the JVM installed in the PC. Now I can understand some mistakes I have also in other applications. Unfortunately there are too much applications requiring JVM running so this should mean that the 1st JVM started will be used. Good to know.
Should be good to stop the JVM already running, I searched around the web but seems that to stop it I should be able to stop the application that launched the JVM. Do you know a way to stop it anyway?

If an instance of a JVM is already running, Eclipse (LPCXpresso) will use it (AFAIK, this is a Windows/Java restriction of not being able to have multiple JVMs running at the same time). If there is no JVM running, Eclipse will use the one found in the 'jre' subdirectory.

So, you should either
- sort out the problems in you existing JVM installation, or
- start LPCXpresso first, so it uses the one supplied

I found that errors I had were related to missing Java files. Very strange because LpcXpresso has its own Java installed and it was a fresh installation. The problems may be solved copying the missing files or repeating the installation.

I just installed the Atlassian plugin from:
http://update.atlassian.com/atlassian-eclipse-plugin/rest/e3.7
the Egit plugin from:
http://download.eclipse.org/egit/updates
and the Mylyn support from:
http://download.eclipse.org/mylyn/releases/lates

(in that order) into a clean install of LPCXpresso 6.1.4 on Windows without any problems.

Can you please install a clean version of LPCXpresso 6.1.4 and try again. If you have problems, can you please explain EXACTLY what you did to produce the problem?
