As workaround please see also http://wiki.eclipse.org/EGit/GitHub/UserGuide#Prerequisites and install GSon 1.6.0 from http://download.eclipse.org/tools/orbit/downloads/drops/S20110422041657/repository/

You also now need to install Apache HttpComponents, instructions here: http://wiki.eclipse.org/EGit/GitHub/UserGuide#Prerequisites
Comment 3 Robert Munteanu CLA 2011-05-21 18:26:42 EDT 
There are two ways out:

* The update site should referece this Orbit repository. The 'references' element in the category.xml should be populated with it. I've done this for the Mylyn connector for Mantis, but the build is based on Tycho + site.xml, not Tycho + category.xml as it is the case for the Github connector. A quick test showed me that this recipe is only possible using site.xml.
* The feature should contain the artifacts and therefore bundle them in the update site.

It's a bit annoying to have to install dependencies manually, so please let me know if either of these solutions is acceptable and I'll try to prepare a patch.
