Yes, I selected them all and a single jar was created which I put in /usr/eclipse/plughins, which apparently was a mistake. I've now unzipped the jar and placed the 5 jars in the plugin directory:

wink@ic2d1:$ pwd /usr/eclipse/plugins wink@ic2d1:$ ls -l *spearce* -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2506 2007-12-13 13:54 org.spearce.egit_0.3.0.200712121008.jar -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 71396 2007-12-13 13:54 org.spearce.egit.core_0.3.0.200712121008.jar -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 13899 2007-12-13 13:54 org.spearce.egit.core.test_0.3.0.200712121008.jar -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 108661 2007-12-13 13:54 org.spearce.egit.ui_0.3.0.200712121008.jar -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 227877 2007-12-13 13:54 org.spearce.jgit_0.3.0.200712121008.jar

I then started eclipse and now I see: Window/Preferences/Team/Git When I select "Git" in the above, I see "Hi, I'm an empty preference page."

Now what; currently I have my entire workspace in git:

wink@ic2d1:$ ls -al total 36 drwxr-xr-x 9 wink wink 4096 2007-12-12 14:54 . drwxr-xr-x 69 wink wink 4096 2007-12-13 14:22 .. drwxr-xr-x 9 wink wink 4096 2007-12-12 15:09 android drwxr-xr-x 3 wink wink 4096 2007-12-10 21:58 com drwxr-xr-x 8 wink wink 4096 2007-12-13 14:21 .git drwxr-xr-x 3 wink wink 4096 2007-12-12 10:45 .metadata drwxr-xr-x 4 wink wink 4096 2007-12-10 21:58 test0 drwxr-xr-x 2 wink wink 4096 2007-12-10 21:58 test1 drwxr-xr-x 5 wink wink 4096 2007-12-13 14:22 testStdJavaDebug

But how do I tell the plugin where my repo is? I also tried making a git repo in testStdJavaDebug:

wink@ic2d1:$ ls -al total 28 drwxr-xr-x 5 wink wink 4096 2007-12-13 14:22 . drwxr-xr-x 9 wink wink 4096 2007-12-12 14:54 .. drwxr-xr-x 3 wink wink 4096 2007-12-10 22:03 bin -rw-r--r-- 1 wink wink 226 2007-12-10 21:58 .classpath drwxr-xr-x 8 wink wink 4096 2007-12-13 14:22 .git -rw-r--r-- 1 wink wink 375 2007-12-10 21:58 .project drwxr-xr-x 3 wink wink 4096 2007-12-10 21:58 src

But again, I don't see any new menu items that would allow me to look at history or make commits. Is there more I need to to install the plugin, or maybe I just need a little guidance on how to use it.

Thanks,

Wink
