3.0 Refactoring calls validateEdit for all files that it is going to modify. If the file is under version control and the version control system is integrated into Eclipse the Team provider can make the file writeable. However if the VCS is "external" the file stays read-only. Core resources should provide a default IFileModificationValidator that asks the user to make files writeable. This will be active if no team provider is present. Additionally the validator could be controlled via a preference.
I thought team already provided a default file modification validator. Michael?
Yes, Team has a default provider. This problem was fixed in 3.1 M2 (see bug 28218).
Thanks Michael *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 28218 ***
