Description Marc-André Laperle CLA 2013-09-04 14:12:02 EDT 
I'm using Eclipse SDK 4.4.0 Build id: I20130903-2000 but I suspect this happens in older versions too. I had projects connected with EGit. After uninstalling EGit, in the error log, I get many messages:

org.eclipse.team.core.TeamException: Could not instantiate provider org.eclipse.egit.core.GitProvider for project org.eclipse.test.performance.
	at org.eclipse.team.core.RepositoryProvider.mapNewProvider(RepositoryProvider.java:165)

	at org.eclipse.ui.internal.decorators.DecorationScheduler$1.run(DecorationScheduler.java:331)
	at org.eclipse.core.internal.jobs.Worker.run(Worker.java:53)

I'm not sure if it's possible but I think there should be a way to "Disconnect" or "clear" the provider from the projects with only the Team plug-ins installed.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet. As such, we're closing this bug.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it and reopen this bug. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
