I have Flash Builder 4.5 (CS 5.5 Premium) which is basically eclipse with some adobe add-ons. I'm using it on a windows PC (tried it on 2 pcs actually) and I can't get EGit's merge tool to work. The merge tool option shows under 'team' in the context menu but it is always muted. Currently if there are merge conflicts, it throws an error and doesn't complete the merge.

I've seen a video on youtube of someone using Flash Builder and it's working fine.

Do I need to download a special merge tool and configure it to work in eclipse/flash builder?

I know there are some other merge tools out there, but being able to do everything in eclipse would be great and setting up the other tools can be confusing and time-consuming.

PS. I'm running the latest stable release of git for windows and I have Egit 1.0.0.201106090707-r

Can you try the latest release (1.1)? AFAIR the 1.0 release had a few bugs.

It appears I have 1.1 after all. I did just update it the other day. I'll check the merge tool again.

Still nothing. It's always grayed out.

The Merge Tool is only available, if you have merge conflicts (otherwise there would be nothing to merge). Do the merge still throw an error and aborts the merge, if you have conflicts or does this work now?

What's the error shown ? Any stack trace you could post ?

This is the error I get on a pull. I still get the error in 1.1 and the merge tool is still grayed out. I've tried going to the synchronize view and it is still grayed out.

Exception caught during execution of merge command. org.eclipse.jgit.errors.CheckoutConflictException: Checkout conflict with files:
BPLab/.actionScriptProperties

Then you have uncommitted changes in a file, which would be changed by the checkout made by the merge. You have to commit these changes first (or change to commandline Git and use stash).
