I just installed the EGit plugin for Eclipse, restarted Eclipse and it shows well in the Installed Software list but... I can't find any added menus or access to its features?
What am I missing?
To prove that I am not hallucinating here is a screenshot of the list:
But there is no hint or clue in any of the menus, menu items, perspectives or views that it's there...
No sign in menus:
No sign in projects:
No sign in perspectives:
Do I need to do some additional configuration somewhere to enable it?
Mystery solved.
It turns out that I mistakenly installed Eclipse JGit instead of Eclipse EGit. Once I selected the EGit package instead:
Things went fine:
One letter difference... (E instead of J)
You just installed JGit, and forgot EGit. JGit is just the Git implementation, but doesn't contain any UI contributions. These are all in the EGit plugin (which should also be available in the Update Site).
is there no new perspective available? Is there no "new -> project from git repository" available?
Usually eclipse plugins work if they're listed.
Cheers
edit:
I just installed jGit as well. Here's what I found:
To see it go to: Window -> open Perspective -> other
Also on a rightclick on my projects (as in cvs & svn plugins) -> team I find Git support as well.
Cheers again
edit 2: No "new project from git" here as well.
Note that the Eclipse Classic package in Kepler (4.3 M6, March 2013) now includes Egit directly (see all the packages here).
See the announcement from Martin Oberhuber
With Kepler M6, we've added egit and Marketplace Client to the Eclipse Classic package, which is still the most popular of all Eclipse packages. The request adding git to all packages has been open for long, and after driving it with the Eclipse PMC Markus Knauer has helped me make it happen.

Good day everyone. I'm using Eclipse Luna and trying to use EGit tools but, it isn't working anymore.
I only see apply patch in the "team" option:
Import -> git projects isn't showing as well :
I checked preferences, and I didn't see git as well
I tried to switch workspace, running eclipse with -clean parameter, but it didn't help. I also checked if egit and jgit are installed, and they're installed:
I checked the error Log and I found something:
I hope someone can help me "restore" the Git thingy. Thanks!
Try going to Windows -> Preferences -> General - Capabilities
Then click the ADVANCED button and you should see the GIT not marked
Why installing Git? All Eclipse 4.x versions do come with EGit already installed.
the Subversive SVN Connectors does not appear after rebooting eclipse Juno IDE after installing svn from the eclipse marketplace.
any ideas?
Because of this issue i cannot assign a svn connector to the svn eclipse plugin so therefore it cannot do any svn features at all.
i am running windows 8 and tried to run eclipse in Admin mode but still no joy. anywhere i can download the connectors manually and if so, where do i install it?
Might help someone...
From polarion use this update site.
I installed just
subversive SVN Connectors
SVNKit 1.7.5.v1 Implementation
SVN Team provider connectors source
After this I found in eclipse preferences Team->SVN has the svn kit 1.7.5 selected and everything started to working.
Just remove .metadata folder in your workspace directory and restart
then windows -> preference -> team -> svn click. It will appear
For me, switching to a fresh workspace fixed the issue. I followed this link. The automatic connector discovery tool popped up once I switched to a new workspace.
I cannot add new comments. Just facing same problem. Updating #Saran answer:
Eclipse Mars site is
http://community.polarion.com/projects/subversive/download/eclipse/5.0/mars-site/
Eclipse Luna site is
http://community.polarion.com/projects/subversive/download/eclipse/4.0/luna-site/
Eclipse Kepler site is
http://community.polarion.com/projects/subversive/download/eclipse/3.0/kepler-site/
You can install svn conectors manually from there.
(Remember: Help menu -> Install new software -> paste site url)
Can I suggest the CollabNet Eclipse desktop instead of the Marketplace SVN?
http://desktop-eclipse.open.collab.net/
I've found its installation to be much less painful than any other way of getting SVN into Eclipse.
Switching workspaces worked.
Also for newer Subversive version`s, the connectors show on the:
windows > preferences > team > svn (in a tab inside this window), instead of the old svn > connectors menu.
Close your Eclipse.
In your workspace directory, open (.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.runtime/.settings/org.eclipse.team.svn.ui.prefs).
Change the option firstStartup=false to firstStartup=true.
Re-open Eclipse again.
I don't see any of the Subversion icons in Eclipse for a project that was clearly checked out from SVN (via the command line) I'm not sure when this stopped working.
I've tried both Subclipse and Subversive plugins, they both seem content. I've also reviewed the SVNKit vs. JavaHL stuff.
Symtoms:
No SVN icons
Right click on file, Team and Compare To don't have any SVN options
In Preferences / Team I now have two SVN trees, one for Subclipse, one for Subversive
Configuration:
Mac OS X Snow Leopard
Eclipse 3.6 Helios
Java / javac version 1.6.0_26 64-bit
svn version 1.6.15
DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/subversion/lib:/usr/lib: (have also tried SVN Kit)
I'm at a loss, it's an odd problem to Google. Any thoughts?
You need to share your project first, using Team - Share project. During the wizard, it will detect .svn directories and ask if you want to keep them. Once shared, you'll see the SVN icons and additional menu items in the Team menu.
I had a similiar issue. My SVN repo version was 1.6.12 and was using svn connector SVNKit 1.3.x which is compatible with SVN1.6. I got all the team > ..options after doing team > share project
even though there was no error when installing Subclipse in Eclipse. I won't see the SVN perspective at all?
I have tried with "Eclipse Classic 3.5.1" and with "Eclipse for PHP Developers".
After downloading and unzipping the packages I used Eclipse's "Install Software" mechanism to install Subclipse 1.6.x. I followed the steps described here: http://www3.math.tu-berlin.de/jreality/mediawiki/index.php/Subclipse_installation_in_eclipse_galileo.
But after Eclipse re-starts I don't get any SVN Repository perspective? I have tried to un-install/re-install all the software components many times now. Finally after 3 hours of trying I am giving up. Does anyone have any hint what I am missing?
Thanks!
Peter
I had the same problem. I use Windows 7 64 bits OS. I clean read-only flag of eclipse folder in C:\Program Files (x86) and give full access right to all users on my PC. I reinstalled it from update site and it works.
This is a known bug with subclipse: http://subclipse.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=992
EDIT For anyone keeping track of this, it looks like Eclipse Helios SR1 may have fixed the issue. I haven't tested it myself yet, but by the sounds of the discussion at https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=322929 it should now be working.
I just had this same issue with Ubuntu. It turned out to be permissions. Once I gave write permissions to everywhere in my eclipse installation and then reinstalled subclipse, its views and so forth appeared, just like magic.
I don't know what you are looking for. But after installing the Subclipse plugin, you should have a new entry in the File | New | Project dialog. Something along the lines of "Checkout project from SVN"
Then when you hit continue, you can enter your SVN repository details, check the branch you are interested in, etc. After checking out a project, you can right click on it and go to the "Team" submenu to get the features provided by Subclipse like check in code, diff, merge, etc.
I ran into the exact same problem too. I installed both Subclipse and GWT/GAE plugins and couldn't find any evidence of them after installation.
I'm on Windows 7 and had installed Eclipse 3.5 SR2 into C:\Program Files (x86)\eclipse-3.5. I also put my workspace in C:\Program Files (x86)\eclipse-3.5\workspace. When I was checking things I noticed there was a lock icon on the C:\Program Files (x86)\eclipse-3.5\workspace.
I reinstalled Eclipse to C:\dev\eclipse and the workspace to C:\dev\eclipse\workspace. After that the installation of the plugins went without a hitch and I could see the SVN Repository Exploring perspective (no idea why some of the other posters claim this perspective doesn't exist). I suspect it was some sort of permissions problem on the directories.
Another way to check and see if the whole thing was installed correctly is to go to the SVN Repositories view. Go to Window -> Show View -> Other, and then search for SVN. If you see a bunch of SVN views like "Repositories," Subclipse is installed.
I had this problem due to some kind of incompatibility between Subclipse and Android ADT plugins. One answer suggested yoxos which gives you all your eclipse plugins from one central repository.
Had the same problem. I work on Linux, and when I installed eclipse in /usr/local/eclipse, Subclipse did not show up. The solution was to install Eclipse locally, e.g. in /home/user/eclipse. Now Subclipse (and other plugins too) worked!
Edit: guess it could be the same on Windows.
I think this is due to some incompatibilities between the packages of subclipse and the gwt 2.x plugin and android... as this started happen to me after I upgrade to v 2.0 of gwt back in the day.
The same issue repeats both on Mac and Windows... and it seems no fix has been released.
Now the only way I've found to move on with my work is to remove subclipse and install the latest subversive plugin instead.
http://www.eclipse.org/subversive/
I know this ain't subclipse but it works very similar and no issues with gwt nor android plugins.
it worked for me and so I hope it works for you in the mean time.
cheers,
G.
One day I pressed in Eclipse Help -> Check for Updates (and I learnt that I should Never Ever update a software which works fine.)
Then in a project that I used with SVN the whole submenu of "Team" and the little icons that showed that some files weren't commited, they all dissapeared.
I tried everything:
revert from Instalation History tab
uninstall from Installed Software tab
replaced the folder eclipse in Program Files with a new one downloaded from eclipse website and tried to install again
searched how to install it on the net
But in none of the cases above if I press Ctrl+N There is no SVN group;
If i right click on a project and select Team -> Share project, a window with CVS appears, but no SVN.
If I choose File -> Import I can't find SVN anywhere.
If I go to Help -> About Eclipse -> Instalation details I see at Instalation History in 25.06.2009, 09:59:08 GMT+03:00 (when SVN worked)
Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers 1.2.0.20090621-0820
Subclipse (Required) 1.6.2
Subversion JavaHL Native Library Adapter (Required) 1.6.3
SVNKit Library 1.3.0.5847
In the Installed Software tab I have now installed
Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers 1.2.0.20090621-0820 epp.package.jee
Subclipse (Required) 1.6.5 org.tigris.subversion.subclipse.feature.group

SVNKit Library 1.3.1.6109 org.tmatesoft.svnkit.feature.group
How can I make SVN to work?
Where does eclipse store its files, because when I changed the eclipse directory with a new one all my stuff was there (the ones that I installed with no success: SVN, Subversive, Subclipse, SVNKit, ...)
Subversive is my favorite SVN implementation in Eclipse because it works better than the others and it integrates neatly into the UI.
I suggest you follow these steps:
Download the most recent version of Eclipse (currently Galileo) and extract it to your desired installation location
Prior to running Eclipse, make sure you delete (or rename/relocate) your default workspace (under Windows this is workspace in your user directory)
Install the Subversive SVN Team Provider (as instructed by the Eclipse incubation website) using Eclipse's software installer:
Choose Help, then Install New Software...
Create a new download location and specify the following download URL: http://download.eclipse.org/releases/galileo
Locate Collaboration, expand it, then check Subversive SVN Team Provider (Incubation)
Proceed through the installation and accept the TOS
Restart Eclipse and Subversive should prompt you to select a SVN Connector. Reading the symptoms you describe, it sounds like you don't have a connector installed, or it isn't communicating with your team provider. The Polarion website has a guide for choosing the connector best suited for you.
If you aren't prompted to install a connector, you can always do so from the preferences screen:
If the above doesn't work for you, it seems that your workspace isn't cleaned out. Locate your default workspace and try getting things working without any projects before you continue.
You could then also try deleting the .eclipse directory in your user directory. And starting over from step 3.
The problem I had was that svn icons where not showing in the package explorer.
The solution for me was to delete the .metadata folder in the workspace folder (which will reset all your workspace including preferences and repository configurations)
After that all the icons appeared.
I had same issue when SVN connector was not able to connect SVN repository in Eclipse.
Then, I do the following step's :-
Right click on Project under Eclipse.
Go to Team -> share Project.
It's working :)
I found a problem related to installing plugins here. I also could not get the SVN stuff to show up in the preferences because of some bug with the software updater updating the Mylin plugins. You'll likely have to get your Eclipse installation straightened out first and you can do this by just using a new workspace. You don't have to blow away the .metadata folder if you point Eclipse temporarily at a new workspace folder. When the Eclipse installation is clean, you can start installing plugins again, but make sure to uncheck the box labeled Contact all update sites during install to find required software
Eclipse uses local SVN libraries that are part of an installed plugin for SVN support, be it SVNkit or JavaHL. Netbeans uses SVN libraries that are installed independently.
I have had this happen before with Eclipse and the various SVN plugins that it supports. The SVN plugin, for some reason, sometimes looses the SVN connection. Your best bet is to simply delete the project and re-check it out of svn. If you have changes that need to be committed you can use the command line.
Another problem you may have is that your plugin and your repository are out of sync in terms of version numbers. I have had problems before using a plugin designed for svn 1.6.x and a repository that was still at svn 1.4 or 1.5.
Just delete all projects from eclipse and Re-Import the all projects again.
It is working for me.
Just try it
If you want to completely start over with eclipse, you need to delete your workspace as well (the path you see when you first start eclipse). Just re-installing the eclipse files and pointing to the same default workspace will not change anything for you.
Your best bet is to remove eclipse and your workspace and start over because you probably inadvertently broke some other parts of the plug in while you were trying to fix your initial problem.
Even if you install everything as it is said, Subversive and SVN Connector (svnkit 1.x.x), in the project you may not see svn working. In my case I had to remove the project from workspace and import it again. Then it appears. (Refresh, clean did not worked).
