Build Identifier: M20110210-1200 When installing plug-ins, when Eclipse is on an external drive, the computing size fails, and does not allow plug-ins to be installed. I also found a few reports of this, on the web, including this one: ------------------ After install, I ran up Helios as an admin, and was able to install the latest Subclipse plugin using the GUI "Install software" feature. However if I try and install anything else using the GUI - Mylyn or Pydev for example, I get: "Computing Size has encountered a problem. An internal error occurred during 'Computing Size''' Under 'Details' the error is given as: 'The profile is currently in use'. ------------------ This is only a problem when the eclipse is on an external drive, however, many people use external drives, because the do not have the space to install it on the main drive. I made it minor, because most people can move something off the drive to make space for eclipse, until the plug in is installed, and then move it back. I hope that this could be changed to a warning, that the user can bypass, if they know there is actually space. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install eclipse on an external (mine is NTFS, but I also read it fails on FAT via the web) 2. Install a plug in. (i was installing the android ADK https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/ ) 3. Click next, eclipse will inform you that it is working, then it will fail with the message "Computing Size has encountered a problem. An internal error occurred during 'Computing Size'"
Could you please see if the .log in the workspace contains more details about the failure?
Created attachment 196565 [details] Error log for defect
I cut the log, but I believe this is the relevant part. ---------------------------- eclipse.buildId=M20110210-1200 java.version=1.6.0_24 java.vendor=Apple Inc.

I have been able to reproduce the problem. It is an issue with the OS that is creating those new ._ files (http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-10329972-263.html, http://support.apple.com/kb/TA20578). When I unzip eclipse on my USB stick, those files are immediately created. At this point, the only way to get that addressed is by disabling the creation of these files or deleting them after the initial unzip of eclipse.
