Hey!
I just built new versions of egit and jgit from todays master. i tried them and everything seemed to work, so i rolled out the version, and suddenly a whole bunch of workspaces "died", meaning that eclipse wont start on this workspaces anymore. attached is the .metadata/.log for such a session. i don't get a workbench at all, but only a "see .metadata/.log" error message.
bad enough, my egit/jgit workspace is one of the broken ones, so i cannot even start this... from the log it looks like it doesn't like the up/down arrow decorations, but i can't imagine that those are the problem, because after all they have been in for a while.
interesting enough, it has to be something with the workspace metadata, because i can fire up another workspace with the same eclipse just fine... ?! i'm confused...
there are basically 2 types of problems reported, the first one looks like a cleanup issue in JDT,
the second one:
java.lang.Error: Unresolved compilation problem:

seems to be caused by your platform not being able to resolve the up/down arrow characters.
- Did you try to use a different character instead ?
- How did you build your EGit version ?
- Why don't you simply use the nightly version built by Hudson ?
