I want to use GIT in eclipse, and preferably EGit, for it's support from the eclipse community itself. However, despite eclipse claiming the required plugins are installed, it does not appear in the perspectives, import and settings menu's.

I am using Eclipse Juno for Java EE, and have confirmed the following installs: Installed features When I update software, there are no more updates available. When I go to the repository for Egit, or JGit for that matter, eclipse tells me the plugins are already installed.

Window > Preferences > Team contains no Git item, only CVS and SVN. Import project contains no Git option. Perspective window contains no Git repo option.

Had the same problem in Eclipse Luna

Looking into the error log, I found: 

org.eclipse.egit.ui
Error
Fri Feb 27 15:36:06 CET 2015
FrameworkEvent ERROR

org.osgi.framework.BundleException: Could not resolve module: org.eclipse.egit.ui [844]
Bundle was not resolved because of a uses contraint violation.

Starting eclipse with the -clean command line option fixed the problem for me.
