Known issues

Take into account the following known issues when using the Git Client IDE plugin version 1.4 or 1.5:

  • If you use the dimensionshttps or dimensionshttpscac Dimensions CM Git Client protocol with Dimensions CM 14.7 server, you need to update Git configuration files in the git-core folder.

    1. Open the git-core folder.

      Depending on your operating system and the installation path, the location of the git-core folder can be %GIT_HOME%\mingw64\libexec\git-core or /usr/libexec/git-core.

    2. In the the git-core folder, open the start-git-client and git-dm files and find the following line:

      JAVA_OPTS="-Dapple.awt.UIElement=true -Xmx1024m ${DEBUG_JAVA_OPTS}

    3. Replace the line with the following:

      TLS_JAVA_OPTS="-Djdk.tls.client.protocols=TLSv1.3"

      JAVA_OPTS="-Dapple.awt.UIElement=true -Xmx1024m ${DEBUG_JAVA_OPTS} ${TLS_JAVA_OPTS}"
