Cannot find git plugin in Netbeans 7.0 beta 2

Question

Although it is written on several pages of the NetBeans beta (but even a tutorial ), I downloaded the Linux version and I may not find how to install the promised git plugin that will add git support for NetBeans.

Has anyone tried the beta and found the same problem as me?

Answer 1

I am on Netbeans Beta 2 for Linux.

I did:

1) Go to Tools> Plugins , and you should click Available Plugins that you will find: Git . Check this. Install it.

2) Then right click on your project properties, select: version> source git repository

In the tutorial you mentioned, everything: http://netbeans.org/kb/docs/ide/git.html

Perhaps this is a temporary problem?

Answer 2

If you are considering the project history of the NBGit project :

M4 (7.0 Beta2) February 17, 2011 - IDE integration

• complete status recognition and caching (DONE)
• complete file event processing (DONE)
• bitrate integration - fixation (DONE), search history,

Indoor use cases

• Ignore (DONE)

Branching and merging

• Checkout (DONE)
• Create branch (DONE)
• Switch to Branch (DONE), same as Checkout
• merging from Branch (DONE) is also possible

You need:

• grab sources with a large (Mercurial!) repo http://hg.netbeans.org/main-silver (the two Git repos mentioned for sources are quite outdated: myabc / nbgit and jonas / nbgit
• assembly and release
• install
