Hey Robin,

Yes, I've been using Kepler since it was released.

Have you tried using the "egit-4.3.target" target platform? That works
here. I personally don't install the dependencies into Eclipse itself,
but always use the target platform instead [1].

With an "Eclipse for RCP" as base, the only things I install on top
are SWTBot (for Run As > SWTBot Test), EclEmma and the Execution
Environment descriptions.

- don't use the latest swtbot snapshot as it relies on hamcrest 1.3 which isn't fully available from orbit (which is a mess) but use the latest release instead (http://download.eclipse.org/technology/swtbot/releases/2.1.0/) until this problem is fixed
