Two. MyEclipse Installing the Egit plugin

Next, we need to install the Egit plugin in MyEclipse, before installing it, we need to know which version of Eclipise optimization MyEclipse is based on, and then download the corresponding Egit version of the download package to the Egit website ( The purpose of this operation: not any version of the Egit plug-in can be adapted to your myeclipse, there is a correspondence between them, because MyEclipse is based on the development of Eclipse optimization, you need to know which version of the eclipse based on the development of Before we can know which version of Egit we are going to download, unzip the installation. Specific steps:

1. Follow the previous description to find out which version of the MyEclipse on your computer is based on Eclipise. (for example, the version of my eclipse that was queried by the above method is 3.8)

2. Go to egit download website http://www.eclipse.org/egit/download/, the latest may not fit your myeclipse, you have to find the old version, click the link http://wiki.eclipse.org/ Egit/faq#where_can_i_find_older_releases_of_egit.3f into the old version list. (If the link does not open, click the "Where to find older releases" displayed). Refer to the following table to find the corresponding Egit version (ex: for Eclipse version 3.8, I chose the egit version of the following table labeled Red)

Here are some of the relationships that Egit and eclipse correspond to:

3. Click on the contents of the Red box to download the corresponding version

4. Place the extracted files (two folders and two jar files) into the Egit folder under the Dropins folder in the MyEclipse installation directory (if the Egit folder does not exist, create one yourself). Then restart MyEclipse.

Unzip the resulting file:

When the above steps are complete, git options appear in the MyEclipse menu bar "file" and "Import" tab. That means the installation was successful.
