How to have the context menu in the History View ? [message #757138]

Hi all,

I'm a newbbbie with eGIT. I've installed the eGit 1.1.0 from the update site here: http://download.eclipse.org/egit/updates. I've installed all plugins but the eGit Mylin (for dependencies with Mylin).

All works fine, except from the History view, I have no context menu when right click on this view. Is there something to configure ? Does someone already experienced it ?
FYI, the version of Eclipse is 3.6.2.

Thanks by advance for your help.
Jerome

You can display history by selecting a repository from the Git Repositories view and selecting the Show In > History menu item. This will display the history for the entire repository.

Or you can select a project or file that is associated with a Git repository and select the Team > Show In History menu item. This will display only the history for the selected file or folder.

Thanks for your answer.

I was probably not clear , my problem concerns the context menu available in the History View. I can display the History View with the Commit graph. But when right clicking in this view, no context menu is available. Reading the eGit user's guide, I'm supposed to have context menu with actions such as: checkout, create branch, create patch, etc.

Any idea about this context menu ?

Investigating a little, I have this exception in the error log when right clicking in the History View:

I just tried this and can't reproduce your problem:
- download fresh Eclipse 3.6.2 classic package (tried on Mac OS X 10.6.8 64bit cocoa)
- install EGit 1.1 from http://download.eclipse.org/egit/updates
- clone sample repo from http://egit.eclipse.org/egit-training.git
- import contained projects
- click "Show In > History" -> this opens the history view showing the commits
- right click any commit in the history view and the context menu comes up

Maybe your Eclipse installation is broken, try to install another fresh one and see if you still hit the problem.
