Description Craig Edwards

Build Identifier: M20100211-1343

When creating a new file in the IDE in an existing project, existing files with the same name may be replaced with empty new files.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Find a folder within your project that contains an existing file with text content
2. Right click its parent folder, and choose new file
3. Name the new file with the same name as the existing file
4. You will now see a blank file with the requested name, which has replaced the old file without prompting.

In case this is required information i am also using the CFEclipse plugin with eclipse 3.5.2.

> 3. Name the new file with the same name as the existing file

It shows me an error that a file already exists.

when trying here, i get no prompt or message. Could this be a behaviour specific to the CFEclipse plugin?

   Which Wizard are you using to create the file? The New File wizard?

I believe so. right click parent folder, go through new -> cfml page, provide a
filename, click finish. I am pretty new to eclipse, so i am not sure exactly
what provides this functionality, e.g. if it is templated, or entirely part of
the plugin.

   New cfml Page is not from Eclipse. Could be from the CFEclipse plugin. Using PDE Spy (Alt+Shift+F1) in that page will help you to find the right plugin

Also, check your error log <workspace>/.metadata/.log

These are the only errors i get relating to the file it replaced, i get this several times one for each time i tested this afterwards:
