All:

Newbie to this list. I've been using eGit in Eclipse for a while now and I've been updating it manually. Most recently I've installed a new version of Eclipse (3.4 Ganymede) and I've imported the org.spearce.* projects into the new version and exported the projects to the Eclipse plugins directory. All looks normal to here and the products are where they should be. I quit and restart Eclipse.

When I access Team > Share Project on any of my projects the only option available is CVS. For some reason Git does not show up as an option. Since I have never had any problems installing egit before I have tried everything I know of to troubleshoot. Does anyone here have any ideas why Git is not showing up as an option for sharing in Ganymede?

Try put those jars in $ECLIPSE_ROOT/dropins. IIUC, they overhauled the whole plugin provisioning system in Ganymede - not sure for better or for worse though. :-)

Cheers.
