Description Clement Mathieu

2007-04-18 04:22:02 EDT

I tried to move my workspace, created on a Linux machine by eclipse 3.3M6 x86_64, to the Desktop of a Windows machines. The workspace is now located at "C:\Document and Settings\cmathieu\Bureau\workspace".

I'm able to open and modify the code. Classes are correctly builded. 

But run targets are all broken. When starting a run a "NoClassDefFoundError: and" is throwed. Obviously this 'and' comes form 'Documents and Settings'. I believe something is not protected in the command line.

I addition I can't edit project properties anymore. Eclise tells me the .classpath can't be written.

I haven't been able to find the same issue on google/bugzilla. I can provide more information if needed.

Thanks.

If I put the workspace into "D:\workspace" everything is fine. 

Something needs to be protected in the command line !

Moving to JDT/Debug for the command line protection.
(note I don't think that moving a workspace from one platform to another is supported)

I found why run targets were broken.

I use as VM argument -Djava.security.policy=${resource_loc:/Project/xxx.java.policy}. ${resource_loc} does not protect the file name and users have to do it manually. I didn't know, it's my bad ;-/

However I still can't modify project properties. For example if perform modification inside the "order and export" pannel and click "Ok". I'm getting
"Could not write file C:\Documents and Settings\....\Poject\.classpath".

Since the summary is now misleading should I close this bug ?

Moving to platform UI for problem modifying project properties.

Are uou having this problem because of write protection on your metadata?

Comment 6 Clement Mathieu

After a quick look, .metadata and all subdirectory are listed as rwx.
 
I can provide the workspace if needed.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
