[Moved to EGit] windows: git over plink just not working [message #1694523]

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

thanks for your help and best regards

You may want to post this in the Eclipse eGit forum.
