I am making a Java application that uses Git. I found that there is something called
[JavaGit][1], [EGit][2] and [JGit][3].

I know that JavaGit and EGit/JGit are different. What I don&#39;t understand is the difference between EGit and JGit. Both are hosted on Eclipse projects but one seems to be Eclipse related and the other not. 

I don&#39;t use Eclipse and I don&#39;t plan to, so I really don&#39;t care much about &quot;Eclipse integration&quot;. 

Is JGit somehow connected to Eclipse? (It is hosted on www.eclipse.org, and the [documentation][4] of JGit also has a lot of &quot;eclipse&quot; keywords inside)


Out of the three, what will I need to connect my Java program (not written in Eclipse) to work with Git repositories?  

I would prefer a standalone Git library (i.e., without depending on a local Git installation)

EDIT: One more question:

- Does JGit support [Git bundle command][5]? 

EDIT: I found the answer -- it does (haven&#39;t tried it yet). It is in `transport` package in a class called `BundleWriter`
