Netbeans 7.3: Error connecting to Git repository with SSH

Question

I am trying to connect to a git repository on a remote server so I can edit the source code in Netbeans 7.3, but when I try to connect to the repository with my ssh private key to clone a repository, I get this error: java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 779

Log:

Any ideas how to fix this?

Answer 1

All the threads including that kind of error point to the same solution.
See for instance "ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException error when installing the IBM Intelligent Operations Center Platform Control Tool".

Caused by: java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: Array index out of range: 810
at com.jcraft.jsch.Util.fromBase64(Util.java:48)
at com.jcraft.jsch.KnownHosts.setKnownHosts(KnownHosts.java:157)

Cause

The ssh keystore on the installation server is out-of-sync with the environment.

Resolving the problem

To correct the problem, do the following:

1. Log on to the installation server as the root user.
2. Delete the /root/.ssh/known_hosts file.
3. Using the ssh command, access the four target servers (application, event, data, and management) as the root user using the fully-qualified hostname of each server. Accept the ssh key when prompted.

Same kind of solution than in "com.jcraft.jsch.JSchException: UnknownHostKey".
