Eclipse: “'Periodic workspace save.' has encountered a pro‍blem.”

Question

I\'m using Eclipse Indigo on Mac 10.7.4. While working, I get these periodic, annoying dialogs

\'Periodic workspace save.\' has encountered a problem.

Coul         


        

Answer 1

I had the same problem.

'Periodic workspace save.' has encountered a problem. Could not write metadata for '/External Files'. D:\java\fuentes\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.core.resources\.projects\External Files\.markers.snap (El sistema no puede hallar la ruta especificada)

I created the folder "External Files" and it worked fine. In a few minutes the files ".markers.snap" and ".syncinfo.snap" appeared in this folder and the message didn´t appear any more.
