Re: [jgit-dev] Can't get egit-4.7.target to work on Oxygen

[Matthias Sohn <matthias.sohn@xxxxxxxxx>]

yes :-)

It was always there since it's needed for building the jgit p2 repository

which is packaging the JGit OSGi bundles and Eclipse features for consumption by

EGit and other OSGi consumers.

Wow, org.eclipse.jgit.target has always been there?!? I guess I've had "Search for nested projects" unchecked all these years, otherwise surely I would have noticed this sooner. Thanks!

I upgraded to Oxygen and am trying without success to get JGit building. I imported the org.eclipse.egit.target project as usual (from head, de432f48f6), and tried to set egit-4.7.target as my target platform, but it can't find any plugins:

If I click "Reload", it gets a bit more specific about what it's missing:

If I then click "Edit" to dig into the first site in the list, I can see why it thinks those bundles don't exist; the site version says 9.4.5.v20170502 and that's what the target definition is looking for, but the bundles actually in the site are 9.4.5.201705032012:

Any ideas for what to try next?

if you only hack on JGit and not EGit use org.eclipse.jgit.target/jgit-4.7.target.

It has less dependencies to download (so it's a lot faster) and doesn't contain the link to wikitext

which moved to another p2 repository. 

Otherwise download the fix [1] for master Thomas provided on stable-4.8 [2] or wait until I merge it

as soon as its build succeeded.
