Git plugin RAD not working

I have RAD 8.5.5.2 and was trying to install Git using http://download.eclipse.org/egit/updates site. I am getting the following error can someone please help.

Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found.
  Software being installed: Eclipse Git Team Provider 4.0.1.201506240215-r (org.eclipse.egit.feature.group 4.0.1.201506240215-r)
  Missing requirement: Eclipse Git Team Provider 4.0.1.201506240215-r (org.eclipse.egit.feature.group 4.0.1.201506240215-r) requires 'org.eclipse.core.runtime [3.7.0,4.0.0)' but it could not be found

Solution

  • Your RAD 8.5.5.2 is based on Eclipse 3.6 (Juno).

    Check the reference table "What versions of Eclipse does EGit target?" in the EGit FAQ.

    EGit 2.1 is the latest version supported in Eclipse 3.6; try this update site link: http://archive.eclipse.org/egit/updates-2.1

    To try to install EGit 3.7.0 or older, you can use this update site link: http://download.eclipse.org/egit/updates-3.7
