Question

I’m creating a simple Java wrapper for git executable, that I want to use in my app.
A small code example:

public static void main(String[] args) {
        String gitpath = "C:/eclipse/git/bin/git.exe";
        File folder = new File("C:/eclipse/teste/ssadasd");
        try {
            folder.mkdirs();
            Runtime.getRuntime().exec(
                    gitpath + " clone git@192.168.2.15:test.git", null,
                    folder);
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }

The code simply never ends the execution.. seems like it has caught inside exec.
If I run the git clone via command line, it work as expected.
If I try another repository, from github, e.g., it works too.

Someone have a ide for what is going on here?
Thanks in advance

This isn’t a direct answer to your question, but you may want to take a look at JGit, which is direct Java implementation of Git operations (no wrapping of commandline git). JGit gets a lot of use and stabilization work as it is the foundation for EGit (Eclipse Git integration).
