Unable to install egit plugin in eclipse galileo

Question

I have an git URI and I want to import that project into Eclipse.

From this post I learned that we need to need to install the egit software in Eclipse. But when I try to install this software I get the following error messages:

I am just thinking is the repository for egit moved to other place or are there any compatibility issues? I am totally not sure.

I am using Eclipse Galileo Platform Version: 3.5.2 Build id: M20100211-1343. Is anybody there who encountered the same problem??

UPDATE -- This is the full error message

Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found.
  Software being installed: Eclipse Git Team Provider 4.2.0.201601211800-r (org.eclipse.egit.feature.group 4.2.0.201601211800-r)
  Missing requirement: Eclipse Git Team Provider 4.2.0.201601211800-r (org.eclipse.egit.feature.group 4.2.0.201601211800-r) requires 'org.eclipse.core.runtime [3.7.0,4.0.0)' but it could not be found

Answer 1

The key part of the error is

requires 'org.eclipse.core.runtime [3.7.0,4.0.0)'.

This is saying that the org.eclipse.core.runtime plugin must be at least version 3.7.0 (and below 4.0.0).

The version of org.eclipse.core.runtime in Eclipse Galileo is 3.5.0 so this version of EGit cannot be installed on Galileo. Either move to a newer Eclipse or try and find an older EGit (I don't know if a suitable version exists).
