[RESOLVED] Can't install EGit plugin on Eclipse Luna [message #1712200]

I recently upgrade to a new Mac Pro that I am developing on and after installing Eclipse Luna, I am unable to install the EGit plugin (which I've come to rely on heavily). I have tried to install via the Eclipse Marketplace through the IDE itself as well as the "Install New Software" with the following URL: http://download.eclipse.org/egit/updates

Neither method worked to install the software. It claims that it is installed correctly and tells me to restart Eclipse, which I do, however there is no entry for EGit in the preferences under Team. So unless I'm looking in the wrong place it is not actually installing properly.

I uninstalled and reinstalled several times and I'm not sure where else to look or what else to try.

Thanks.

I got it showing in the Preferences under Team -> Git by running eclipse from the command line with the following: ./eclipse -clean
However the main functionality still isn't there. It doesn't show the branch name next to the project root like it used to even though it's configured correctly, nor does it let me compare by commit on a specific class.

Any help would be greatly appreciated..

Got it working thanks to stackoverflow.

Basically the steps to make it work is to use the Git Repositories view from EGit in Eclipse and add your project as a local repository. My label decorations and compare with commit started working as soon as I did this but others said there is another step in which you right click on the project, go to Team -> Share Project -> and then share it and use a repository by pointing it to the same repo.

I hope this helps someone!

- find the EGit preferences under Team > Git
- Team > Share project > Git should be automatic if preference "Team > Git > Projects > Auto-share projects located in a Git repository" is switched on
