Andre Dietisheim commented on JBIDE-11421:
------------------------------------------

When installing the official binaries (http://eclipse.org/downloads/packages/eclipse-ide-cc-developers-includes...), I ended up having EGit 1.3. Checking for updates did not give me EGit 2.0:

1) I downloaded the latest Eclipse-CPP-SR2 from eclipse.org which is *Build id: 20120216-1857*

It ships with EGit 1.3

2) Ran "Check for updates" and did not get any, Eclipse was reproting "No updates were found"

I also checked the Eclipse CPP version with incubation plugins you are pointing to. Strange enough I have a different build id: Build id: 20120216-1857 (identical to the official binary). It ships with EGit 1.3. Running updates there also reports none.
Even when installing Eclipse SDK 3.7.2 20120208-0800 I did not end up having EGit 2.0.

So I wonder how the user managed to get EGit 2.0? Using an upstream EPP package? Adding some nightly update site (http://download.eclipse.org/egit/updates-nightly)?

The official EGit release is still 1.3: http://www.eclipse.org/egit/download/ -> Installing the Latest Release: 1.3.0.201202151440-r

We use a version constrain for EGit that excludes 2.0 since with any new major you have to expect a compatibility break. We therefore excluded 2.0 since we cannot assure you that our tooling would still work. We even had major unexpected problems when mixing runtime and compilation versions with EGit (compiling with 1.3, running with 1.2).

I'd strongly encourage you to use the official, stable binaries and not to use nightly updates.

> It seems like Eclipse IDE for C++ developers ships with egit 2.0, which is currently incompatible with our tooling, which requires egit [1.2.0, 2.0.0)
