I want to use GIT in eclipse, and preferably EGit, for it\'s support from the eclipse community itself. However, despite eclipse claiming the required plugins are installed,
I had hoped for an easy solution, so I would not have to do a reïnstall of eclipse meaning I'd have to reïnstall plugins and check all my settings etc. again.. I have to work though, so I did a clean install of eclipse (wiped it all), and got me a copy of 64-bit Juno for Java EE which came without EGit/JGit installed. Installed it from the repo and it works now.
Shame we couldn't figure this out, but the coding must go on!
In my case, JDK was a problem. I had JDK 1.6.0_27 installed and changed this to jdk1.8.0_111. Then it works well.
