Eclipse error constantly pops up while editing Javascript

Question

I am working on relatively small (100-300 lines) Javascript files in Eclipse and periodically it gets really upset about some piece of code and pops up this error every time

Answer 1

Ironically, the solution for me was to install another plugin. After I installed VJET, and set up my JavaScript project to be a VJET-enabled project, the issue went away.

Answer 2

An even better answer (from the bug report linked by Cliff Ribaudo, comment #10 and others):

Turn off Toggle Mark Occurrences (Alt-Shift-O or the paintbrush icon on the toolbar, which handily, will show you your current state).

Thanks Cliff!

Edited:

Answer 3

I've been getting this error lately. I am writing Groovy scripts. The fix for me was to update the Groovy plugin.

Answer 4

At first I thought this was just a trick, but it is working so well, I had to post it as an actual answer.

When the error window pops up, don't close it. Just drag it off to the side, focus back on the main window and keep editing.

When the error happens again Eclipse doesn't change the focus back to the error message. Focus stays in the editing window and you can continue to edit the document.

Answer 5

just replace the xml in your .project file (which lies in home directory of your eclipse workspace .

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<projectDescription>
    <name>your Project Name</name>
    <comment></comment>
    <projects>
    </projects>
    <buildSpec>
    </buildSpec>
    <natures>
    </natures>
</projectDescription>

Answer 6

Likely an eclipse bug. See this thread:

There is a patch posted there which you might try.
