Eclipse won't compile project on Google Drive [message #1842862]

Hey everyone:

I have a project on my local C: which Eclipse builds without a problem.

I am using:
Eclipse IDE for Enterprise Java and Web Developers (includes Incubating components)
Version: 2021-06 (4.20.0)
Build id: 20210612-2011

On Windows 10.

I moved the project to my Google Drive which is on G:

Now, I can load the project and edit the source files, but it will not build. I have tried to use Build Automatically and Build All. Nothing, no error messages, no class files.

Any ideas why this would not work?

Thanks,
Neil

Hi

Are you sure that you copied cleanly?

You might have left metastate pointing at the old project.

You might have two copies of the project.

Make sure you delete the old project in Eclipse. Close the new project.

Restart Eclipse with and open, refresh and clean. Then maybe it will work.

If not search for any "C:" references in your G: project..

Regards
