In my ~/.ssh directory I have keys of various types, including an ed25519 key. This key is used to access those hosts that understand the format (eg RHEL7 servers). All my git repositories are accessed using the RSA key.

The key for the git host is specified in ~/.ssh/config, as

Host git.my.domain
	IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa
	User git

...
Host <list of hosts>
       IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_ed25519
       ...

so it seems to me that EGit shouldn't have any need to even attempt to parse the ed25519 key.

This issue only appeared a few months ago (I've had the ed25519 key for a couple of years), and doesn't occur in Juno.

cheers
