hi guys

me and a group of friends are trying to learn java so we decided to get eclipse and, well, start! Very Happy
in order to be able to share our progress, we created a github account for our code.

now here's the problem: while everyone else can access github over the eclipse-integrated functions (i.e. create keys, connect to github over ssh) it seems not to be possible for me. I'm pretty confident that the problem is my usage of putty/pageant. i looked over the net and found that people most of the time have problems with path variables and key management over pageant which seems not to be my case. I can load the key over pageant and when i check the connection with plink.exe git@github.com I'll get a positive answer.
My problem is that when I enter all the information in eclipse (i.e. ssh://git@github.com:rep-folder/rep-name.git) it just seems to trying to connect but nothings happening ... at all! i can't quit eclipse either during that time and i have to close it over the task manager. also, when restarting eclipse i don't see any errors in the log.

i found out that I can clone a rep with git protocol and when trying to push my changes to the rep it works but again it will hang after that and I can't do anything else than closing eclipse over task manager. so at least I'm pretty confident that i get a connection to github over ssh

i hope you understand my problem ... i'll answer questions to it asap.

thanks for your help and best regards

You can use git over ssh from Eclipse without using any additional native tools like putty/pageant.
Follow [1] to configure ssh keys in Eclipse.

I think that I found the issue for my case.

In my computer I have installed TortoiseSVN and in the environment variables there is a GIT_SSH variable that is set with a version of plink under TortoiseSVN directory.

Removing this variable I solved my problem.

Yes, if GIT_SSH is configured JGit will use this configuration.
