MY SOLUTION: "Delete all folders from USER_FOLDER ( .p2 .eclipse ) and PROGRAMFILES. Remember to reboot!!!! Now all works fine with eclipse oxygen and git project"

Answer 1

The GIT plugin of Eclipse tries to detect whether to use the GIT executable of the OS, or the build-in GIT. Therefor it uses a bash command.

Before the Windows Creators Update, the bash command did not exist (unless you've installed CygWin or a similar program). With the Windows Creators Update, a new feature Windows Subsystem for Linux is added. When the bash command is first called, it asks whether to install this feature or not.

So in order to fix GIT in Eclipse, you just have to manually run bash once and install it. You may have to activate Developer Mode in Windows.
