Eclipse Egit Cannot Log Into Bitbucket

Question

All was working fine until I let automatic updates run in Spring Tool Suite (Eclipse). One of the updates was to Egit. Now, when I try to pull a repository or interact with any of the team functions, I get the following error:

[email protected]:my-company/my-repo.git: Cannot log in at bitbucket.org:22

I've tried every other solution I can think of and find online, including reverting to my previous configuration before the update, but nothing seems to work. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what the problem might be?

Answer 1

Seems to be a known issue with the recent EGit release in eclipse 2021-03

Known affected git servers: bitbucket.org, AWS Code Commit, Azure DevOps

Work-arounds:

• Install EGit nightly, or
• Use an ed25519 key, or an ECDSA key, or
• Use an external SSH via environment variable GIT_SSH.

I use the last

$ GIT_SSH=/usr/bin/ssh eclipse

Answer 2

It's probably problem with Eclipse EGit plugin v. 5.11. It is solved in the May nightly build of the plugin. You have to install it, because it is the last version at present time. In Spring Tool Studio (Eclipse) I had to do "Help / Check for updates" in addition to the instructions.
