I setup a new VM with a clean windows 7 install. Then after patching it I installed Broker 8.0.0.1 plus the Ifix-20130131-1239.
Then I used the Install new software option and pointed it at
http://download.eclipse.org/egit/updates-2.1
and installed the egit & Jgit software.
The following image shows that something was installed...
However when I try to actually configure the Git local repository there is nothing in the Team Preferences as can be seen below.
I have done this sucessfully for a more uptodate version of Eclipse (which comes with git already installed in the build.
I have to conclude that trying to use any version of Git with the version of eclipse included in V 8.0.0.1 is a non starter.
Unless someone can show me where I am going wrong...

Well.
I tried to repeat your steps, but I couldn't get it to let me accept the license and do the actual install...
If you're sure you got past the screen that asks you to accept the license (which it seems you did... ) I'd go in and make sure that you restarted Toolkit a couple of times, and then check the installation history to see if it thinks the install really did install...
Otherwise, if you have a working install in another eclipse (at the same level), you can just link or copy the plugins into Toolkit's install location... |

I had exactly the same problem at first. Then I selected only the runtime bits and not the sources. That seemed to work.
Sadly I don't have a working Eclipse + Git install at the same level as that used by the Broker Tooling.
If this were the old BBC TV Show 'Juke-Box Jury', I'd give the whole experience a resounding 'Miss' or as my old Geography teacher used to say 'could do better' when I got 90% in the end of term exams.

Ok, so I didn't install the source, on
| Code: |
WebSphere Message Broker Toolkit - Message Broker
Version: 8.0.0.1
Build id: 8.0.0.1-20120808-1331 |
and I have GIT under the team menu, and it asked me a couple of things at startup...
I installed the egit, egit project support and jgit features only.
Toolkit runs on Eclipse 3.6, so you should be able to just download a 3.6 install and install egit into that, and again link or copy files. |

Seems to work for me under Toolkit:-
Version: 8.0.0.1
Build id: 8.0.0.1-IFix-20130131-1239
End up with a Git option under the team preference. |

I got it to install by NOT selecting the Myln options.
It seems that egit 2.1 is a bit on the 'delicate' side.
As git becomes more and more popular the issues I've been experiencing will become more common until the good folks at IBM update the eclipse version supplied with broker to one that already includes git by default (a gentle hint perhaps?)

Is there an Eclipse version that ships with eGit/jGit/mylyn preinstalled?
I don't mean a package eclipse that includes this, I mean a raw plain Eclipse Verison - i.e. Juno or etc. - that includes this function as a raw feature?
There is a conflict between the needs of the Toolkit and the needs of a general purpose developer.
The Toolkit needs to ship with as small a footprint as it possibly can get away with - simply because too many end users complain that it's too big.
This is especially true of MQExplorer, and keeps biting me - MQExplorer ships with less and less base Eclipse function every release.
A general purpose developer who wants to use a single Eclipse install for lots of things needs to be able to deal with this level of complexity.
Otherwise, Mr. Davis, you know significantly better how to get a real response and a real address of your request for enhancement than merely dropping hints here. |

| Also, on a personal note, the mere name 'mylyn' gives me the heaves. It tells me strongly that this is something that is built and designed by people who are more interested in being clever than in getting things done. |

I will try to just that next week but I am sure that the those responsible for the TK side of things know that already.

Yes.

Then one can assume that a future release of Toolkit will be based on that level of Eclipse, and the function you are asking for will be included. |
