AWS Blu Age L3 Workshop: Error in Transform step, missing .jar-Files

Most likely you haven't gone through the steps in the Generate Configuration. https://catalog.us-east-1.prod.workshops.aws/workshops/bf71c0bc-6d8a-4d04-9c10-ab479f7f0e37/en-US/transformation/configuration/generate

Nothing is wrong in your transform configuration.

Make sure you use the right Transform engine version as well. Good luck.

The error you're encountering in the AWS Blu Age L3 Workshop during the Transform step is related to missing dependencies, specifically the org.eclipse.jgit bundle that's required by the Blu Age transformation engine.

This is a common issue in the workshop environment. To resolve this problem, you need to:

1. Check your Transform configuration to ensure you're using the correct version of AWS Blu Age. The version you use for transformation should match the version you'll use for executing the modernized code. Version mismatches often cause dependency issues.

2. For the specific JGit error, you may need to add the missing dependency. The error indicates that the org.eclipse.jgit_6.2.0.202206071550-r.jar file cannot be found.

3. If you're working in the workshop's AppStream environment, you might need to modify the file encoding settings. Try adding a new Metadata section in the Transform step with the following details:

• Type: File
• Name: */
• Properties: select "encoding" property
• Order: move it to last
• Update property value to UTF-8 (make sure to include the hyphen in UTF-8)

4. If the issue persists, try cleaning your project and rebuilding it in Eclipse.

5. Ensure that all required Blu Age runtime libraries are properly included in your project's build path.

These steps should help resolve the transformation errors and allow you to proceed with the refactoring exercises in the workshop.
