Description Shibaji Chandra

2017-06-03 17:37:32 EDT

Eclipse version: Neon 4.6.3
JDK 1.8
Windows 10

I am able to Git clone from my Git Bash in Windows through SSH. However when I am trying to clone a repository from egit in Eclipse it's failing. Error log clearly shows egit is trying to find the rsa private key in wrong path.

Error Message:
ssh://gcdna1@localhost:29418/FirstProject: java.io.FileNotFoundException: C:\Users\<userid>\c\Users\<userid>\.ssh\id_rsa (The system cannot find the path specified)

The path should be 
C:\Users\<userid>\.ssh\id_rsa

Please help in how I can set the path correctly.

PS: I have already checked the SSH2 setup and path C:\Users\<userid>\.ssh\ is maintained only there.

Also user environment variable HOME is set to %USERPROFILE%
