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.

Answer 1

Today I faced the same issue consistently, whenever I exit the eclipse. While trying the above solution provided by TS.xy, the below steps got rid of this issue for now.

1. Switch to new workspace and close the Eclipse.
2. Open the Eclipse with new workspace and after that switch to the actual workspace(in which exception occurs).
3. Actual workspace loaded with all my previous projects.
4. Now exiting the Eclipse, does not result in that exception.

Hope that this step may work for someone.
