Error when connecting mylyn Gitlab connector to Eclipse

Question

I'm trying to configure the Mylyn Gitlab Connector for Eclipse Oxygen v4.7.1a but when I try to add a new task it throws me an exception and it does not let me continue with the creation of the new task.

Enter correctly my data and the url address of the gitlab repository and even probe with several url and with all of them throw me the same exception.

Exception Stack Trace:

Any suggestions on how to solve this problem?

Answer 1

1. Right click on Mylyn repository and select Repository -> Properties
2. Expand Additional Settings and check "Use private token"

works well for me.
