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

This was simple for me -

Solution

1. (pre) the listed directory is not present, see pic
2. Run Eclipse, see the error shown in pic below. Close Eclipse

3. Create the directory (RemoteSystemsTempFiles) where it is looking

   • note: ignore the items in this folder (e.g. .markers), they are auto-generated

4. Restart Eclipse, problem solved!

Not sure why this took me so long to resolve, but quite easy now, and quite obvious in retrospect! ;)...
