I've installed Eclipse from the minimal Platform Binaries tarball

    ...
    awt.toolkit=sun.awt.X11.XToolkit
    eclipse.application=org.eclipse.ui.ide.workbench
    eclipse.buildId=4.6.0.I20150805-2000

and I've installed Aptana Studio 3 & eGit as plugins,

In the Eclipse UI, for any project's modified file, if I want to exec a 'git commit', there are two options I see

(1) The top-menu "Git" menu pulldown
(2) The right-click-on-file "-> Team" menu

(2) works just fine. "Commit" is available, and I can make the commit, and check/verify the commit in logs.

But, the options in (1) are completely greyed-out. I can't use them at all. Apparently for any file.

How do I enable the top-menu "Git" menu pulldown options?

I think (?) this is due to 2 different types of Git in here ... but I'm not sure. I develop alone, so I think eGit is all that I need. IIUC, that's the top-menu?

The git top-menu is only displayed if you switched on the Git action set under "Window > Perspective > Customize Perspective > Action Set Availability".
If you also want the git toolbar you need to also activate it under "Window > Perspective > Customize Perspective > Toolbar Visibility".

I tried using EGit 4.1 from http://download.eclipse.org/egit/updates-nightly and the commands in the git top-menu are enabled
if some resource (file,project,repository) in a git managed project is selected.

I don't use Aptana so I don't know if it interferes here.

It's not an issue that the Git top-menu and toolbar aren't displayed -- they both *are*.

The issue is that all the displayed menu & toolbar items are disabled / greyed out & non-functional.

I'm already using ' http://download.eclipse.org/egit/updates-nightly' -- no change.

> the commands in the git top-menu are enabled if some resource (file,project,repository) in a git managed project is selected.

Not here. For any/all git-managed projects' files/folders, the right-click -> Team -> * options *are* all enabled.

*None* of the GIt top-menu or toolbar items are.

Can you reproduce this with any of the standard Eclipse packages available here
https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/

Yes. I'd originally seen the problem with Eclipse for PHP Developers / Mars. Which was one of the reasons I'd explored switching to IntelliJ's product, PHPStorm -- for the fully functional git support.

THAT product never quite fit right for me, and now the company's lost its mind over licensing, so I'm back to Eclipse.

Trying Nova M1 atm, realizing it's not fully baked yet, in the hopes that this & some other annoyances have been resolved.

I suspect it's something in my config, but heck if I know yet.

Looks like it was maybe a corrupted workspace ...

Launching eclipse once with

eclipse -clearPersistedState -clean -refresh


fixed the problem for good.
