Problem Installing EGIT

I have the following configuration

• OS: Win XP
• Eclipse: Galileo

And i want to install EGIT on it (i already have subclipse). I tried going to Help -> Install New Software but EGIT was not on the list. I tried downloaing from the site but download link http://download.eclipse.org/egit/updates is not opening in the browser (chrome)

Please help me how to install Eg开发者_StackOverflowit.

Thanks

If the update site (see below) really don't work, you still can try the zip download option.

But you should be able to declare and use the Egit update site, as illustrated in the Egit tutorial, provided you have the right Network connection preferences, allowing you Internet access.

Use the Eclipse Update manager to install the EGit plugin from http://download.eclipse.org/egit/updates

I had a very similar problem to this.

I hadn't realised, but the problem was that I still had a proxy server configured (which was no longer turned on).

To solve, I went to Window > Preferences > General > Network Connections.

Would have nice for Eclipse to actually tell me there was a problem to do with the proxy server rather than throwing/reporting some obscure exception...

You need to add the egit link to Eclipse, so it searches it. In the text box it presents (when you go to Install New Software on the Help menu) enter the egit URL and hit enter - it should find the egit plugin and allow it to be selected for install.
