Eclipse Github integration
I'm learning Perl on RHEL 6.5. I found a Perl add-on for Eclipse, the default install version on RHEL 6.5. I'm interested in adding gitgub integration into Eclipse. I find two add-ons, Eclipse Git Team Provider and JGit. Neither will install.
When I try just the Eclipse Git Team Provider I get this error:
Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found.
Software being installed: Eclipse Git Team Provider 3.3.0.201403021825-r (org.eclipse.egit.feature.group 3.3.0.201403021825-r)
Missing requirement: Eclipse Git Team Provider 3.3.0.201403021825-r (org.eclipse.egit.feature.group 3.3.0.201403021825-r) requires 'org.eclipse.core.runtime [3.7.0,4.0.0)' but it could not be found
According to help, I am on Eclipse 3.6.1. Should I be able to use the apps own built in updates to update Eclipse or is this handled by RHEL and I won't be able to do it without conflicts, which is how it seems to be.
Anyone have any info on getting Eclipse to work with github?

In answer to your question, I would expect built in updates for Eclipse to work, but unfortunately the plugin you are trying to install needs a newer version of the base package / install (3.7.0 or 4.0.0) which is installed by rpm, so it looks like you will need to move to an unsupported Eclipse installation.
I am reluctant to recommend a method to achieve this as it may break other components you have installed (but haven't mentioned) but I have installed it from their tarball in the past without any real issues. I followed a similar process to this:

As long as the version you install is at least 3.7.0 you shouldn't have any problems installing the Eclipse Git Team Provider component.
