Description Martin Polden

Fetching from remote repository over SSH does not seem to be working on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS.

I installed the 'eclipse' package from universe. This happened with a fresh configuration directory and no other plugins installed beside EGit.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Create empty project
2. Right click project -> Team -> Share Project -> Create Git repository
3. Right click project -> Team -> Fetch from... -> URI: git+ssh://username@host/path/to/git/repo
4. When clicking next I get the following error:
Cannot get remote repository refs.
Reason: loader constraint violation: loader (instance of org/eclipse/osgi/internal/baseadaptor/DefaultClassLoader) previously initiated loading for a different type with name "com/jcraft/jsch/JSch"
5. If I retry step 4 without restarting Eclispe I get the following error:
Cannot get remote repository refs.
Reason: com/jcraft/jsch/Session

I've checked that the libjsch-java is installed and that the /usr/share/java/jsch.jar symlink exists.

Yeah! I have the same bugs in my eclipse !
I also use Ubuntu 10.04...

I have this bug with the same configuration (with github repo).

I have the same configuration here.

Ubuntu 10.04 LTS 64bit and Eclipse installed from Ubuntu repositories.

I also tried to use sun-java6-jdk instead of openjdk-6-jdk with no success. So I dont think this error depends on the jdk/ jre.

I hope this bug will be fixed soon.

kind regards

Same problem over here. But only on my Ubuntu 10.04 LTS 64 Bit. On my Fedora 12 64Bit I don't have this issue.
But I have found a workaround. Al least is seems to work.

Just delete your symlink "/usr/share/eclipse/plugins/com.jcraft.jsch_0.1.42.jar" or move it to another folder.

For those who don't know how to do this, just enter the following two commands into your terminal:
1: sudo mkdir /usr/share/eclipse/bkp
2: sudo mv /usr/share/eclipse/plugins/com.jcraft.jsch_0.1.42.jar /usr/share/eclipse/bkp/
Then (re-)start Eclipse.

This will create a new folder and move the above mentioned symlink to this folder. You will have to enter your login-password after the first command.

By doing so, I am now able to import git-projects per ssh. I can't guarantee that everything else will work. If you have any other problems with any other plugin, just copy the symlink back to the plugins-folder and restart. (Do this by execute the following command on a terminal: "sudo mv /usr/share/eclipse/bkp/com.jcraft.jsch_0.1.42.jar /usr/share/eclipse/plugins/").

Patricks Solution worked fine for me. But I want to note, that my com.jcraft.jsch_0.1.42.jar was located in "/usr/lib/eclipse/plugins".

The bug seems to have been solved in the nightly builds. Using the nightly builds repository works fine in Ubuntu 10.04 LTS.

Same problem.

Same configuration as #comment 3

I assume the problem no longer occurs. Please reopen this message if the problem reappears.
