We'd love contributions! http://wiki.eclipse.org/EGit/Contributor_Guide Use the api package, not the pgm package. The api package offers about the same usage, but is designed to be run from your own application code. |
Build Identifier: It is currently impossible to use JGit PGM in embedded java applications because of the use of System.exit() in pgm class files. For example:... protected void parseArguments(final String[] args) { final CmdLineParser clp = new CmdLineParser(this); try { clp.parseArgument(args); } catch (CmdLineException err) { if (!help) { System.err.println(MessageFormat.format(CLIText.get().fatalError, err.getMessage())); System.exit(1); } } ... } Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run Main.main(args...) with a bad git command 2. JVM exits, which is unrecoverable
