Giteye cannot import repository

Question

I am working with the latest version of GitEye and I cannot import local repositories.

When I try that it throws a java.lang.NullPointerException. Does anyone have a solution for that?

As far as I know GitEye uses JGit and is based on eclipse.

Here are the error details:

eclipse.buildId=unknown
java.version=1.8.0_111
java.vendor=Oracle Corporation
BootLoader constants: OS=win32, ARCH=x86_64, WS=win32, NL=de_DE
Command-line arguments:  -os win32 -ws win32 -arch x86_64 -data @user.home/.giteye

Check if this is not similar to bug 513744 and bug 509827

NPE if adding existing repository

This was fixed in EGit 4.7 in March 2017, which might not be used by GitEye.
