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.I tried removing the cache but that didn't fix it.Did you try to reload the target platform ? "Open With > Target Editor", then click "Reload target platform".Yes, I tried this but it just kept failing with the same error.In the worst case try to create a new Eclipse workspace, this usually fixes the issue.In the end I did this and it seems to have fixed it.I spoke too soon. After restarting Eclipse the problem comes back, even in the new workspace.
I think I'll probably keep a separate workspace for jgit from now, to prevent that I lose all my other project configurations if/when this happens again.[2] ./.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.pde.core/.p2/org.eclipse.equinox.p2.repository/cache-Matthias
