Errors in Eclipse 2020-03 with latest ADT [message #1828013]

Hi All,
My eclipse and SAP ADT (ABAP Development Tools) are both updated to the latest version. Not sure what's wrong but, everytime I right click on any object or within any code, while in the ABAP perspective, I get this error (Attached).
In other perspective, like in Java this error is not there.
Couldn't find anything like this online as I googled. So had to ask here.

Tried to uninstall and re-install everything. Even tried removing just the git integration from eclipse, but this error keeps coming back.
Really not sure if it's an error with eclipse or the SAP ADT.

Can anyone please help? This is very annoying.

EGit UI cannot load because EGit core cannot load because JGit crashes because the path to your HOME directory is utterly wrong.

You're on Windows. What are the values of the following environment variables:

%HOME%
%HOMEDRIVE%
%HOMEPATH%
%HOMESHARE%

What is the setting in Eclipse of system property user.home (should be shown in the Eclipse About Dialog, click "Installation Details", in the "Configuration" tab)?

No, please don't. It's a problem in JGit, and I've just created bug 563739.

Thanks for the reply. Here're the values in my system...

HOME=C:\Program Files\Git;C:\<myfolder>\eclipse;C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-11.0.6\bin;
HOMEDRIVE = C:
HOMEPATH=\Users\<myuser>
I don't have HOMESHARE setup.

In eclipse config, the user.home is set to my user folder C:/Users/<myuser>

PS: I just noticed that my eclipse is stored in "Eclipse" folder, whereas the HOME shows the folder as "eclipse". Do you think this is supposed to be case sensitive? Usually in windows it shouldn't matter, right?

Thanks.
So a fix for this bug should fix the issue for me?

Yes.

Having a list of paths in %HOME% is highly unusual, if not wrong. Did you intend to set %PATH% to that list?

You could also fix it by setting %HOME% to C:\Users\<myuser>.

Wow.. awesome this simple step fixed the issue for me... In fact this also made git recognized in my VS Code, where it always showed as git not found.
Didn't know both the issues, were due to this one HOME path.
