Hi all,

I'm trying to install eGit on my RDi (9.8.0.5) instance, but it gave me some headache.

I keep trying to install Egit from the marketplace, and solve the dependency problems that arise

I first didn't seem to have the right Java version so I installed Semeru 21 and altered the RDI.ini
Then it came back with OSGI version errors which I was able to resolve. Now it doesn't start at all anymore, making my laptop fan sounding like a take of whilst eating all the processor capacity. I can only shut it down via Windows Task Manager

I fed the log to from RDI to Mistral AI and it found some problems. I've summarized them:

The log shows jetty bundle conflicts: 10.0.6, 10.0.24 and 10.0.21 are loaded casing a uses constratin violation for OSGI
It has unresolved requirements for several bundles
There is a version conflict for SLF4J

I don't understand the solutions because I can't even find anything resembling jetty of slf4j

Is it even possible to run eGit? If not is there another git tool for RDi?

I know that it is supposedly much easier to integrate VSCode with Git, but for all kinds of (mostly) good reasons we intend to stay with RDi for the time being, so that's not an apropriate solution

Kind regards,
