Exception on right-click in Cobol perspective in MFED rel 7

Installed Micro Focus Enterprise Developer rel 7 with PU8. To have latest rel of eGit I used update software from Eclipse. Also had to update IDE from 4.16 to 4.23. When right-cliked I get a exception.  Any suggestion how to solve this issue?

Hi, some questions to understand the situation more:

-What did you have installed before and was it working then?
-Was only PU8 installed, then you see this issue?
-Where exactly do you right click, e.g. in the COBOL Explorer?

Hi,

- upgrade from rel 6, pu16, to rel , pu8. It work before and after this upgrade.

- Installed first rel 7 and then pu8, right-click worked in both git repositories and cobol explorer

- then I upgraded git from 5.8 to 6.1. included in this upgrade was eclipse from 4.16 to 4.23

- right-click in cobol explorer, cobol program. then nothing happened, check error log and found the error message. Same behavior in git repositories under git perspective. Right-click does not work

- Tried to revert this upgrade, but no luck. Eclipse.exe file was deleted. Finally I reinstalled MFED. First rel 7, then pu8, current version of git is now 5.8 and eclipse is 4.16

Hi Sondre,

In your Eclipse IDE > Window > Preferences > General > Startup and Shutdown > Check the list of plugins that are loaded. Do you see the  GIT plugin listed? If yes as a test uncheck those, apply the changes then try to recreate the issue. Is this issue still seen? This will help you determine if the GIT plugin is causing the problem, or not. Result?

Also when the error is seen, what is recorded in the Eclipse .log file?

Hi, have had small vacation...

This is the startup

Tried to only update eclipse IDE

Got  the same error. I think ver 7 is not compatible with latest ide

Hi Sondre,

Hope you had a good vacation.

Going back to what you wrote initially:
Enterprise Developer rel 7 with PU8. To have latest rel of eGit I used update software from Eclipse. Also had to update IDE from 4.16 to 4.23. When right-clicked I get a exception.  Any suggestion how to solve this issue? 

Can you share details of how you update the eGit part, e.g. where in Eclipse do you perform the update? Via the Help > Install New software?

Where do you right click when the exception is seen? What part of the IDE or which button/view in Eclipse?

Hi,

thanks, nice to have few days of.

I have tried both ways for updating inside Eclipse, Help > Install New software and Help > Check for updates.

I right click in a cobol program and a copybook.

Hi Sondre,

To get the latest release of eGit do you install any plugin or additional software into Eclipse? e.g. from URL: https://www.eclipse.org/egit/download/  I will try to replicate your issue, I just want to make sure I am using the same software a you.

Hi,

sounds great to replicate it.  One of my attempts was only to upgrade from eclipse IDE 4.16 to 4.23. Se screenshot in a previous message. Same error.

I did not explicit download from a URL, only used eclipse functions "Help > Install New software and Help > Check for updates"

Hi Sondre, I think I have located your company's account in our support system, to confirm do you work with colleagues such as Rune and/or Bjørn ? If you can confirm that then I can raise a case on your behalf to get this actioned.
