Adding the Toolbox to a standard Eclipse installation will most likely 
not work because of how the Toolbox is implemented.


This is how to install EGit into the Toolbox version 1.7.1:

1) Close the Toolbox
2) In the Toolbox directory:

./toolbox -nosplash -application org.eclipse.equinox.p2.director 
-repository https://download.eclipse.org/releases/2020-06/202006171000 
-installIU org.eclipse.egit.feature.group -roaming

3) Launch the Toolbox like you would normally do
4) Open "Find Action" by pressing Ctrl+3 and type "git" to access the 
EGit views


Note that this does *not* work if your Toolbox on Linux has been 
installed from the .deb file.
