java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: 'org.eclipse.egit.core.RepositoryUtil org.eclipse.egit.core.Activator.getRepositoryUtil()'

[kris-mart]

Seems like its not working with new egit (my case: org.eclipse.egit.core_6.3.0.202209071007-r.jar)

Duplicate to #345

In EGit the method has been removed in this commit.

I guess,

team-explorer-everywhere/source/com.microsoft.tfs.client.eclipse.ui.egit/src/com/microsoft/tfs/client/eclipse/ui/egit/importwizard/CrossCollectionRepositorySelectControl.java

Lines 244 to 251 in ff54dc1

	final IEclipsePreferences corePrefs =
	org.eclipse.egit.core.Activator.getDefault().getRepositoryUtil().getPreferences();
	if (corePrefs != null) {
	rootFolderPreference = corePrefs.get(DEFAULT_REPOSITORY_DIR_CORE_KEY, null);
	if (!StringUtil.isNullOrEmpty(rootFolderPreference)) {
	return rootFolderPreference;
	}
	}

has to replaced by something like:

    private static final String EGIT_PLUGIN_ID = "org.eclipse.egit.core"; //$NON-NLS-1$

    // ...

       rootFolderPreference =
            Platform.getPreferencesService().getString(EGIT_PLUGIN_ID, DEFAULT_REPOSITORY_DIR_CORE_KEY, null, null);
        if (!StringUtil.isNullOrEmpty(rootFolderPreference)) { 
            return rootFolderPreference; 
        }

As workaround downgrade JGit/EGit to 5.11 or use Eclipse 2021-03.
