For egit users, which version of eclipse are you using that actually works with the egit update url?
The plugin (using the update url) did not work with my version of eclipse, and so I upgraded my version eclipse to the latest official version, and the git plug-in still doesn't work.
(It says it is installed but the UI doesn't change to show anything to do with git anywhere)
According to the EGitQuickGuide, the plugin only works on Eclipse 3.4 or newer. Once installed, for Git access in Eclipse:
- A toolbar / workbench menu is available if enabled in Window/Customize perspective. By default it is hidden.
- The right-click/Team and Compare sumenus contains Git actions
- Decorations can be enabled/customized in Window/Prefernces. Search for "git".
- Quickdiff for Git can be enabled in Window/Preferences.
Does this help?
As mentioned in a comment on the guide page, make sure to use the update site at http://www.jgit.org/updates. Works fine for me with Galileo (Eclipse 3.5).
