`java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError`: `org/eclipse/jgit/internal/JGitText`

Describe the bug (required)

After recently upgrading to the next major release, I started getting an error at the end of the build. I think this has something to do with the jgit implementation this plugin ships with, as setting the useNativeGit flag does not produce this error.

Is there a (public) project where this issue can be reproduced? (optional)

The project is seart-group/ghs. There is a dedicated branch to this version upgrade: https://github.com/seart-group/ghs/tree/dependabot/maven/master/io.github.git-commit-id-git-commit-id-maven-plugin-8.0.0

Your Environment (optional)

macOS 14.2.1

Thanks for the report!

I would suspect that this is related to the version update of the jgit dependency performed in https://github.com/git-commit-id/git-commit-id-plugin-core/releases/tag/v6.0.0-rc.7.

In particular:
bump jgit.version from 6.7.0.202309050840-r to 6.8.0.202311291450-r

The release notes do not mention anything in particular regarding this issue (https://projects.eclipse.org/projects/technology.jgit/releases/6.8.0/)

For now I can confirm that I see the issue when looking at the build from one of the linked issues (https://github.com/FraunhoferIOSB/FAAAST-Service/actions/runs/8173789615/job/22347018676?pr=688)

I guess what makes this super frustrating is that I can even see it inside the Run the local testversion with Maven integration tests that are performed whenever this plugin is build (e.g. https://github.com/git-commit-id/git-commit-id-maven-plugin/actions/runs/8146847392/job/22266267434).
Why this is Exception is not causing the process to report a status code != 0 might be some other problem and I guess still a mystery is why I didn't see the issue locally yet....

Will try to troubleshoot this...

[TheSnoozer]

eclipse-jgit/jgit#28 / eclipse-jgit/jgit#17 aparrently fixed by https://eclipse.gerrithub.io/c/eclipse-jgit/jgit/+/1176056

[TheSnoozer]

I can reproduce the issue locally.

For counter measures I have added now instructions to my release template to run the plugin before releasing. I thought I did that, but apparently not. The fact that the github actions do not fail still trips me off.

As per eclipse-jgit/jgit#17 (comment) there is already a 6.9.0.202403050737-r release to become available soon.

So I guess there are two options:

1. Go with the 6.9.0 release and "risk" that there is something else broken.
   See
   https://projects.eclipse.org/projects/technology.jgit/releases/6.9.0
   or eclipse-jgit/jgit@v6.8.0.202311291450-r...v6.9.0.202403050737-r

2. revert to 6.7.0.202309050840-r

[TheSnoozer]

This remains an issue with 6.9.0.202403050737-r.
See: eclipse-jgit/jgit#36 (comment)

[TheSnoozer]

I released a 8.0.1 now, that main purpose is to downgrade the jgit.version from 6.8.0.202311291450-r to 6.7.0.202309050840-r. See full release notes https://github.com/git-commit-id/git-commit-id-maven-plugin/releases/tag/v8.0.1

Thanks again for the report.
I'm going ahead and close this now.
