Description Beooo

Build Identifier: I20110613-1736

We have a remote place to save our documents (like on NAS). It is mapped as Drive X: to path \\fileserver\x\<username>\(Documents)
For an Adobe Update it was invalid to have documents on virtual drive X, so i changed it in the registry to UNC:
•HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders 
•HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders 

After reboot I try to start eclipse with default workspace and it reports this:
"An error has occurred. See the log file X:\Documents\Martins Workspace\.metadata\.log."

I'll post log after submitting this. Most important line in this log is:
org.eclipse.swt.SWTException: Failed to execute runnable (java.lang.IllegalStateException: startLine (66) does not match endLine (65))

Even if I change the Documentpath in the windows registry it doesn't work anymore.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. move Windows "myDocumentes" folder to a remote folder and map it as a virtual drive (X:), 
2. use a folder inside of it as Workspace.
3. change Registrykeys to UNC Paths and reboot
4. try to reopen your workspace

sorry for wassting your time - 
I copied wrong log file -

I made a copy of my workspace - after that it stopped working.
Specialities: I have my workspace on a virtual drive X: connected to a network-folder. One of my Projects has a different location - instead of the virtual drive it's localy saved in a personal folder (C:\users\user\workspace\project)

I have changed on the same day the location of my personal documents, where my workspace is placed. Normally my Windows "documents" are on the virtual drive - I changed the registry to the network path.

After trying to start eclipse with deleted .snap file it wasn't showing any projects anymore.

SOLUTION:
I copied the backuped folder from local disc to the network location and it's working again.
