I have Eclipse oxygen which I updated from neon by the help - 'check for updates' tab. I like to keep Eclipse up to date and today's check for updates contacted the sites, then produced the following errors when I selected the two maven items:
An error occurred while collecting items to be installed session context was:(profile=_home_nick_eclipse_jee-neon_eclipse, phase=org.eclipse.equinox.internal.p2.engine.phases.Collect, operand=, action=).

Any suggestions for a solution would be much appreciated.
UPDATE 2nd AUGUST - SOLVED BY A FLUKE
Firstly, I should add that I have a fast and reliable internet connection and that recently the 'check for updates' function has been taking longer and longer, with the percentage complete figure at the bottom right of eclipse slowly creeping up.
After that finished, it noted that two m2e components were available and whilst the 'accept licence' radio button selection was dislayed, Eclipse was downloading items, as displayed bottom right. These were largely hidden by a shortening to a URL with an ellipsis but did contain an 'artifacts.jar. and some xml files.
I waited for the bottom right display to become clear (presuming the downloading had finished- as it took a while) and then clicked 'accept' button for the licence agreement. After that, Eclipse needed restarting and then it was up to date.
For anyone else having similar problems, I thought this update may be useful. As a note to Eclipse, I would suggest that a 'please wait' popup might be a good thing to have, whilst all the mysterious stuff is downloading
