Hey!

What's currently the best way to use git with eclipse?
Using jgit or egit? And if so, what's the easiest way to
install either? Is there any update-site available?
Is it usable for development at all?

Sorry for asking so much, there is a lot of information
available, but nothing out there seems to say

  "Hey eclipse newbie, click here and you have git support in eclipse."


Sincerely,

Nico

According to [0] there is a download site you can point your eclipse
download manager at [1] and use an unofficial periodic snapshot, but
Robin or Shawn might have more accurate information.

[0] http://www.eclipse.org/egit/install.php
[1] http://www.jgit.org/updates
