I want to use GIT in eclipse, and preferably EGit, for it's support from the eclipse community itself. However, despite eclipse claiming the required plugins are installed, it does not appear in the perspectives, import and settings menu's.
I am using Eclipse Juno for Java EE, and have confirmed the following installs: When I update software, there are no more updates available. When I go to the repository for Egit, or JGit for that matter, eclipse tells me the plugins are already installed.
Window > Preferences > Team contains no Git item, only CVS and SVN. Import project contains no Git option. Perspective window contains no Git repo option.
Check to see if you have egit – go to "window"->"show view"->"other" and see if you have "Git". If you do, then you have egit already installed and you should go to Step 2.
Eclipse EGit™ is the Git integration for Eclipse. Git is a distributed SCM, which means every developer has a full copy of all history of every revision of the code, making queries against the history very fast and versatile. The EGit project is implementing Eclipse tooling for the JGit Java implementation of Git.
Had the same problem in Eclipse Luna
Looking into the error log, I found:
org.eclipse.egit.ui
Error
Fri Feb 27 15:36:06 CET 2015
FrameworkEvent ERROR
org.osgi.framework.BundleException: Could not resolve module: org.eclipse.egit.ui [844]
Bundle was not resolved because of a uses contraint violation.
Starting eclipse with the -clean
command line option fixed the problem for me.
