Recently I've been unable to build the master branch of jgit in Eclipse (version 2018-09) because the jgit-4.8 target platform doesn't load, showing several "Unable to locate installable unit" errors.  See the screenshot [1].

The same also happens on the stable-5.1 branch.

However, if I switch to stable-5.0 the target file's content is different. Reloading it is successful and the project can build.

Then if I switch back to stable-5.1 and master, they successfully build, but the target platform dialog shows the same errors again.

Is there something I'm missing to make this work properly on stable-5.1 and master, or is it broken?

Thanks.

this works here. I am using Eclipse 2018-09 committer package from [1].

I think this happens when downloaded some corrupt jar from a mirror or p2's cache got corrupted.

I think that's located here [2] under the Eclipse workspace folder.

Did you try to reload the target platform ? "Open With > Target Editor", then click "Reload target platform".

In the worst case try to create a new Eclipse workspace, this usually fixes the issue.
