Description Jonathan Ball CLA 2004-09-13 17:56:15 EDT 
Build: Eclipse 3.0
Platform: Linux/GTK

When trying to create a workspace directory in a directory which the user does
not have permission, the Workspace Launcher Dialog displays the error message
"workspace in use" and not a message identifying the correct problem.

Steps to reproduce:
1) Start Eclipse
2) In the Workspace Launcher, attempt to create the workspace in a directory
that you are not allowed to create subdirectories underneath (i.e. /opt/eclipse
with rwxrwxr-x set as the permissions)
3) Click OK

Problem: A message box appears with the incorrect error: "Workspace in use,
choose a different one."
