In case anyone may find this post in the future (I am helping someone who did), a few points to update things: Thanks for pointing me to the right version! There is a great tutorial on this at It is for Coldfusion 9, but it still works. The link I entered in CFB's install new software was I used the one for EGit 2.2.0 as it was the one that installed correctly without an error. In the right column, labeled 'p2 repository URL', you will see a link.

If you look in the table above labeled ' Where can I find older releases of EGit?' you will see the column named 'Release Versions' with your version of EGit. There are two versions of EGit for this listed., 2.2.0 and 2.3.1. In my case, it was Eclipse 3.7.2+ (Indigo). First, go to this link to determine the version of EGit you need: Go to the table labeled 'What versions of Eclipse does EGit target?' Look at the column labeled Supported Version of Eclipse to find your version of Eclipse. I kept getting conflicting software errors. I followed other instructions that tried to install the latest version of EGit. That was the key, getting the correct version of EGit.
