I just installed EGit on Eclipse -- but Where is it?

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:

开发者_运维知识库

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.
