How to use JGit in java snippet

[ddamasceno]

Hi everyone,
I would like to know if anyone has already tried to use JGit (the git library for java) in a java snippet.
I am planning to use it because I need to manage git submodules within my workflows and the available “Git nodes” extension is too basic for such tasks.
I’m new to java but willing to learn.
Thanks,
Dimitri

I have been able to import jgit classes by loading the additional bundle org.eclipse.jgit 5.11.0.202103091610-r but my expression CloneRepo(); (last line of the code below) is highlighted with the following message :

Unhandled exception type org.eclipse.jgit.api.errors.InvalidRemoteException

Any help would be warmly welcomed…

Here is the copy of the snippet content :

// system imports
import org.knime.base.node.jsnippet.expression.AbstractJSnippet;
import org.knime.base.node.jsnippet.expression.Abort;
import org.knime.base.node.jsnippet.expression.Cell;
import org.knime.base.node.jsnippet.expression.ColumnException;
import org.knime.base.node.jsnippet.expression.TypeException;
import static org.knime.base.node.jsnippet.expression.Type.*;
import java.util.Date;
import java.util.Calendar;
import org.w3c.dom.Document;


// Your custom imports:
import java.io.File;

import org.eclipse.jgit.api.Git;

import org.eclipse.jgit.api.errors.GitAPIException;
import org.eclipse.jgit.api.errors.InvalidRemoteException;
import org.eclipse.jgit.api.errors.TransportException;


// system variables
public class JSnippet extends AbstractJSnippet {

// Your custom variables:

public static void CloneRepo() throws InvalidRemoteException, TransportException, GitAPIException {
	Git.cloneRepository()
		.setURI("https://github.com/github/opensource.guide.git")
		.setDirectory(new File("/path/to/targetdirectory")) 
		.call();
}


// expression start
    public void snippet() throws TypeException, ColumnException, Abort {
// Enter your code here:
CloneRepo();



// expression end
    }
}
