Eclipse as git mergetool?

Question

Let's say I'm using Eclipse with command line git.

If I have an Eclipse instance running, is it possible to use its internal comparison view as mergetool somehow? I'm not sure if it is even possible because of the required exit code.

(I want to avoid installing the Egit plugin, I have some negative experience with that.)

Thanks for any hints!

Update Well, there seems to be no way for doing this wrt the command line. Anyway, I believe I'll give the EGit plugin another chance because of the merging features within Eclipse. In case someone finds an alternative solution, please don't hesitate to post it here!

Answer 1

You cannot use Eclipse this way.
