An internal error occurred during: "Periodic workspace save.".
Cannot set lower sequence number for root (previous: 8, new: 5). Location: /Users/michaelmcguire/Dropbox/Java Class/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.resources/.safetable/org.eclipse.core.resources
Any advice on how to fix this?]]>Mike McGuire2013-10-07T14:08:44-00:00Re: Dropbox Workspace Error Message

If I understand what you're doing, I would point out to you that Eclipse
workspaces are not portable between hosts. If you're trying to use
Dropbox to accomplish this, sooner or later you'll run into trouble.
What is portable is the Eclipse project. Putting that in Dropbox is
perfectly appropriate and not likely to create trouble for you.
You can import your project from any path into a new Eclipse workspace
by File -> Import -> General -> Import Existing Projects into Workspace.
Or come back and ask for help here.
Hope this helps.]]>Russell Bateman2013-10-07T14:49:50-00:00Re: Dropbox Workspace Error Message
