Description Torsten Schlumm CLA 2005-03-10 19:09:56 EST
steps to reproduce the problem

- new eclipse installation (owned by root.root - group has write permission)
- start eclipse as 'normal' user (no '.eclipse' directory)
- create a new workspace 
- create a new Plug-in Project (New->Project->Plug-in Project)
- give it a name and check the 'Create an OSGi bundle manifest' box
- choose 'yes' for 'Would you like to create a rich client application'
- choose the 'RCP Mail Template'
- create a new product configuration ('New->Product Configuration')
- choose a file name (xxx.product)
- specify the export destination (xxx.product/Overview/Exporting)
- click export

After all of this the 'export progress dialog' pops up followed by an error
message saying something like this:

Could not write /opt/eclipse-I20050301-1230/plugins/org.eclipse.osgi_3.1.0/build.xml

Changing the permissions of certain plugin directories within the
eclipse installation makes this problem go away - but 'build.xml' files
are created in those plugin directories during export.

I can reproduce this bug every time using the 3.1M5a and Daniela builds.

The system is Linux (2.6.8 - suse 9.2pro) with gtk 2.4.9 and jdk 1.5.0_01.

Please try with next week integration build.
Marking as dup.
