FDT5 EGit installation error

When I try to install EGit via the update URL or marketplace I get the following error:

Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found. Software being installed: Eclipse Git Team Provider 3.2.0.201312181205-r (org.eclipse.egit.feature.group 3.2.0.201312181205-r) Missing requirement: Git Team Provider UI 3.2.0.201312181205-r (org.eclipse.egit.ui 3.2.0.201312181205-r) requires 'bundle org.eclipse.team.core [3.6.100,4.0.0)' but it could not be found Cannot satisfy dependency: From: Eclipse Git Team Provider 3.2.0.201312181205-r (org.eclipse.egit.feature.group 3.2.0.201312181205-r) To: org.eclipse.egit.ui [3.2.0.201312181205-r]

My FDT5 is up to date.

Can I somehow install the org.eclipse.team.core bundle to solve the dependency?

It's a different error. Also the answer "Just deselect the checkbox, and installing should work." makes no sense to me. There is no checkbox. - daniel.sedlacek

As said, FDT ships on Eclipse Juno (4.2) on which EGit has tested to work smoothly.

You can install EGit by:

  1. Help > Install New Software
  2. Click on Available Software Sites
  3. Check in Juno (http://download.eclipse.org/releases/juno)
  4. Click OK to close
  5. From Work with select choose Juno
  6. Check in Collaboration > Eclipse EGit

We've also tested JGit to work smoothly.

I don't know what FDT 5 is, but from the error it looks like it is based on an old version of the Eclipse Platform.

EGit 3.2 requires Eclipse Platform >= 3.8.2/4.2.2, see What versions of Eclipse does EGit target? in the FAQ.

Either upgrade FDT or try installing an older version of EGit such as 2.3.1, see Where can I find older releases of EGit?.
