Encoded

I’m a fan of Eclipse as a Java IDE.  I have enjoyed subclipse (an SVN plugin for Eclipse) for a few years. When I began looking at Git, I immediately wanted an Eclipse plugin. After stumbling over the installation instructions for eGit, I found a nice quick guide on Chris Cruft’s blog, here. It’s excellent in guiding you through the process of compiling an Eclipse plugin from source. You will need the latest version of Git, which you should have if you read this post, as well as the Java 1.5 or greater. 

The jury is still out on eGit, I am not completely sure it will support git-svn, but that remains to be seen.
