| EGit Installation |
| |
| PREREQUISITES |
| |
| In order to install the Git Eclipse plugin you need to have the following |
| things. |
| |
| - Eclipse version 3.8.2/4.2.2 or newer |
| |
| - Since 4.6 JGit and EGit require Java 8. |
| |
| - A reasonably recent version of Git itself installed on your platform to |
| take care of what the plugin does not yet do or do things that native |
| git does better. Some tests have been performed using both Cygwin and MSYS git. |
| Both have issues that we need both feedback and patches for. |
