Build Identifier: M20110909-1335 I have ten workingsets, each of which has about 10 - 20 projects. Deleting an svn working-dir project permanently does not actually delete the project permanently because residual project entrails are still found in .metadata. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Use tortoise svn to check projects out into working dir. 2. Start Eclipse on a virgin workspace and turn of "build automatically". 3. Import those hundreds of projects from the svn working dir without copying them into workspace. 4. Choose one project and delete it, choose to delete its contents from the disk. 5. Look into .metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.core.resources\.projects folder. 6. The "deleted" project is still there. 7. Use "Import existing projects" to try to import the project that was just deleted. 8. The project's listing on import wizard is greyed out, because the "deleted project exists in the workspace." 9. Delete the project entrails from metadata to allow the project to be re-imported.
After deleting is there any content inside the given .metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.core.resources\.projects\FOO folder? If so, what do you see there? Are you using an SVN plug-in inside Eclipse? Which one? Could this be related to bug 248284?
(In reply to comment #1) > After deleting is there any content inside the given > .metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.core.resources\.projects\FOO folder? > There is a list of projects inside that folder. Which means that delete project and contents permanently failed to delete the projects buffered inside .metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.core.resources\.projects Deleting those projects manually, will allow me to recreate projects of the same names.
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. As such, we're closing this bug. If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it and reopen this bug. 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. -- The automated Eclipse Genie.
