For various reasons we bound to use eclipse luna and can't migrate to higher version. So, recently a new colleague has come to us and we tried to install egit-5.1 plugin to his luna installation (and by the way discovered egit-5.1 was moved into archives https://archive.eclipse.org/egit/updates-5.1). So, after that we've been failing to install the plugin from archives for a couple of days.

If I simply try to download artifacts from p2 repository using eclipse - i.e.
$ eclipse -nosplash -verbose -application org.eclipse.equinox.p2.artifact.repository.mirrorApplication -source http://archive.eclipse.org/egit/updates-5.1 -destination file://tmp/egit 

I get
java.lang.NullPointerException
	at org.eclipse.equinox.internal.p2.artifact.repository.simple.SimpleArtifactRepository.downloadArtifact(SimpleArtifactRepository.java:665)

(logs attached).
Of course, same thing happening from UI installation too.
When I try to download artifacts for egit-5.5+ (which, sadly, does not comply to luna, but it's still not in the archive)
eclipse -nosplash -verbose -application org.eclipse.equinox.p2.artifact.repository.mirrorApplication -source https://download.eclipse.org/egit/updates-5.5/ -destination file://tmp/egit


Can you help me get egit-5.1 plugin? May be some one out there has a local p2-reposioty copy with it? Or know how to overcome my problem?
Thanks in advance.

All versions older than 5.5 have been moved to the archive.eclipse.org server
since the available space on the download server and its mirrors around the
world is limited.

You should be able to install 5.1 (latest service release is 5.1.3) directly from
- the archive server under the URL: https://archive.eclipse.org/egit/updates-5.1.3
- Nexus: https://repo.eclipse.org/content/unzip/releases.unzip/org/eclipse/egit/org.eclipse.egit.repository/5.1.3.201810200350-r/org.eclipse.egit.repository-5.1.3.201810200350-r.zip-unzip/

or you can download the p2 repository archive from Nexus
https://repo.eclipse.org/content/groups/releases/org/eclipse/egit/org.eclipse.egit.repository/5.1.3.201810200350-r/org.eclipse.egit.repository-5.1.3.201810200350-r.zip
and then install from that archive
