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

This happened to me because i deleted one of the resources files inside the .metadata folder in my workspace.

After trying all methods, deleting the .metadata folder in my workspace worked.

Infact, this nuke option seems to work when there are a lot of issues related to eclipse bugs. One such example is working-sets. Working-sets are extremely buggy(but useful) and it is there that most of my eclipse problems start.

Hope this helps someone.
