Can Install EGit: Missing requirement: Git Team Provider Core

So I am using Coldfusion Builder with Ecplise. I am trying to get EGit installed in it so I can do Git stuff. The only thing I can ever get installed is EGit 0.11.1 from http://download.ecplise.org/releases/helios/. When I try to install the latest version from http://download.eclipse.org/egit/updates version 2.3.1.xxx I always get the Missing requirement error:

Missing requirement: Git Team Provider Core 2.3.1.201302201838-r (org.eclipse.egit.core 2.3.1.201302201838-r) requires 'bundle org.eclipse.core.runtime [3.7.0,4.0.0)' but it could not be found
Cannot satisfy dependency: From: Eclipse EGit 2.3.1.201302201838-r (org.eclipse.egit.feature.group 2.3.1.201302201838-r)
To: org.eclipse.egit.core [2.3.1.201302201838-r]

I can't figure out how to install the Git Team Provider Core. I've read some stuff about setting system config etc, but nothing I do seems to help. I've tried installing all different things like the Mylyn, JGit, etc, but I am obviously missing something important.

I do have Git Installed in Windows if that matters, but still nothing. This has to be a simply config issue right? I mean, the version I have installed (0.11.1) IS working as intended. I can pull/branch/push, all that good stuff. But my buddy noticed I was missing some options under the Team menu and I assume it's because I can't get the latest version up and running.

Thoughts?

Solution

  • You said you were trying to update via http://download.eclipse.org/releases/helios/, so sounds like you're still running Eclipse 3.6 (Helios).

    According to the EGit FAQ, the latest version of EGit that is supported on Helios is 2.1.0.201209190230-r. It also says:

    If possible we will not prevent usage in older releases but if we want to take advantage of new functionality only available in one of the latest two Eclipse releases but not in older releases we will update dependencies which will in fact discontinue support for older releases.

    You might have bumped into one of those dependencies that break EGit on your version of Eclipse.

    I recommend either:
