I have no experience with Eclipse but I might have a clue for you.
The manual page of `git clone` specifies under its "GIT URLS" section
that two valid URL syntaxes for SSH protocol are:
1) Base:
ssh://[user@]host.xz[:port]/path/to/repo.git/
2) Alternative, scp-like:
[user@]host.xz:path/to/repo.git/
As you can see, if you do not specify the schema ("ssh://"), then the
colon after the host part must be followed by a port number or, if the
port number is omitted, must not be present. In the alternative case,
there's no slash ("/") after the colon.
I do not understand the settings you cited as what's specified under
points 2..7 duplicates what's specified under point 1 (the URI).
In either case, I would first try to set your URI to
ssh://user@hostname/path/to/repo
and then would try to reconcile this with the rest of the settings.
Probably you can try to leave only the URI and remove the rest of the
settings, or leave the settings as is but remove the URI -- all I can
tell is that they duplicate each other so I don't really see a point.
