Hi Rob,
Well, it does ring a bell, happended to me quit erecently, unfortunately I
can't remember exactly what was wrong and how I fixed it ...
I think it was me trying to reuse a copy of an old workspace created in
WTP 1.0M3 under WTP 0.7 but am not sure.
In the end I think I had to delete the whole ".metadata" directory of the
workspace to put everything back in order, so perhaps you could try that
(I would actually take a copy of ".metada" by renaming it instead of
removing it, so you can restore it later if needed)
Hope this helps
Laurent

NOOOOOO !!!!! How on earth... I mean, where did you get that weird idea
from ???
I said I had problems reusing an existing Eclipse *workspace* from a
previous version with a newer version, that's all.

You're talking again of "overlaying builds" here again... I don't know
what you mean exactly, but I'm quite confident you don't want to do what
you mean to do !! ;-)
To put it simply - if you want to upgrade your Eclipse+WTP, do a clean
install of the new version in a *separate* directory.
Then, I'd advise you to create a *new workspace* for the new version, and
then import the projects from the old workspace into the new one, using
the "File > Import > Existing Porjects into workspace" wizard.

Ah.. ok.
The reason why I asked is because I downloaded the JBoss Eclipse version
and I was not sure that their installation of WTP was current - since I was
having problems with the Dynamic Web Projects trying to import a WAR
file that does not work. I thought about getting the WTP 0.7 and overlaying
the contents on TOP of my current eclipse installation so that my issues
might
be fixed.
