Solution

An ssh url would never include a user account to access the bitbucket server. It generally use a service account like 'git' (as seen in "Troubleshoot SSH Issues")

[email protected]:accountname/reponame.git
# or
ssh://[email protected]/accountname/reponame.git

In your case, if you have under your account a test.git repo:

ssh://[email protected]/kanishkapanamaldenya/test.git

That means:

• The username for the "authentication" part would be git
• The 'password' would be the passphrase associated with your private key (if you created it passphrase-protected) or empty (if your private key isn't passphrase protected)

This presuppose that you have an account kanishkapanamaldenya on BitBucket, and that you have a Git repo name test.git in BitBucket.
Eclipse itself won't create those two for you. It will simply push to it or pull from it.

A path like "test/test.git" wouldn't be a valid BitBucket path anyway.
It is accountname/reponame.git.
If your account name on BitBucket is kanishkapanamaldenya, then the right path would be kanishkapanamaldenya/test.git.
