after an eclipse crash, I have a solution which does not appear anymore, but I don’t care, it was the 1st 5mn of work.
the only problem is that I can’t re-use the name, it says it already exists in the workspace. I then deleted the solution folder in the workspace, but on change. where else are there data to let the developer think there is already a solution which this bloody name?
Hi Lesouef,
Use the Project Explorer view to remove any projects. This will remove all the metadata that Eclipse keeps track of.
thanks Robert.
but quite bad, it fails deleting from there… and freezes.
i start being fed up, 2nd machine where eclipse goes nuts. I just moved to a new company, so new pc and installation, strange things like repository not requested at install, and then same problem again, no way to get back the 3.5 stability.
real bad… servoy was the perfect thing for this, I had db2 and mssql dbs to marry into a solution to get rid of a bunch of import/export miserable scripts. I had suspicious on my PC 1st time, now I know it is eclipse or the install procedure which does not handle all situations. difficult choice to recommand a tool like this to a company, especially when someone will take over on it afterwards (I am a temp worker).
cleared the pb by completely deleting the workspace, not cool…
after creating a new one, 1st new solution, 1st form for it, 3 fields only, save > “Unhandled event loop exception PermGen space” and freezing again.
nice to meet you Mr PermGen…
Hi Lesouef,
Can you give us some more details of your environment?
OS, Java version, Servoy version, any third party plugins/beans installed…etc.
Also do you use SVN with this install ? If so do you use Subclipse or Subversive, JavaHL or SVNkit.
this is a brand new install, both windows and servoy, absolutely naked, installed 5.0 + update 5.1.
cfg is vista pro sp2, java 1.6 u18. and no other eclipse or servoy plug-in.
actually, I have now 3 machines setup with servoy, and the one which works fine is mine at home, an old xp machine which suffered all updates from servoy 2.2 and which has numerous plug-ins (servoy only, no eclipse plug-in part from sql explorer).
all that stuff seems to be around the workspace. but apart from the rights, was can I check?
re-installed v5.0 and this cleared most of the problems. but it still reports being v5.1 and does not need any update. I expect the install to be clever and not overwrite anything more recent.
the funny (not really) thing is that I did it on another vista machine and same problem again; installed 5.0, update 5.1, test > bad.
re-installed 5.0 and ok.
only detail, on one of the machines, when exiting, it says it can save metadata to import_placeholder + [the path itself] + path not found. I tried to create the folder manually, but it thens complains about something else I did not even read. Isn’t eclipse supposed to handle the workspace on its own? of course folder rights are ok. and this path does not exist on the 2nd installation I did for test, and this 2nd one does not complain upon exit. so I exported all my solutions, deleted this workspace completely and re-import solutions. but I am 100% eclipse is polluting its workspace itself.

if you see that above
Go to the project explorer or Navigator view and see if you have a project called import_placeholder
If that is the case then delete it.
too late… as I said, I deleted the workspace completely and it’s ok since then.
