Build Identifier: na Hi, I think there should be a page of install instructions for EGit, or a least a link to some general install instructions. OK, your all 1337, but I'm noob. Starting here: http://eclipse.org/egit/download/ I used 'Help' -> 'Install New Software' -> 'Add': http://download.eclipse.org/egit/updates OK, but now I'm confused by the different components: EGit # OK EGit - Source # OK EGit Mylyn GitHub Feature # Wha? JGit # Do I need this? JGit - Source # OK EGit Mylyn # Wha? So trial and error got me through, but it's confusing, for example, I think I want GitHub stuff, so I clicked 'EGit Mylyn GitHub Feature', but then I get the following error: Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found. Software being installed: Eclipse EGit Mylyn GitHub Feature 1.0.0.201106220257-r (org.eclipse.mylyn.github.feature.feature.group 1.0.0.201106220257-r) Missing requirement: Eclipse EGit Mylyn GitHub Feature 1.0.0.201106220257-r (org.eclipse.mylyn.github.feature.feature.group 1.0.0.201106220257-r) requires 'org.eclipse.mylyn.tasks.core 3.2.0' but it could not be found I'm sure this is easy to fix, but without any documentation, it's confusing. Just a few lines of text at the above location would be a huge help. Thanks for help, Dan. Reproducible: Always
(In reply to comment #0) > I used 'Help' -> 'Install New Software' -> 'Add': These steps should probably be mentioned on the page somewhere. Alternatively we can link to the Eclipse help somewhere directly. It should probably also be mentioned on the user guide in the wiki. Right now the wiki assumes the user already has EGit installed. > EGit Mylyn GitHub Feature # Wha? We should probably have a link to Mylyn's website somewhere for context.
