I've been working on a Java program, and one of my files is named
ColorArrayComponent.java. Eclipse continues to work fine, except for the
editing window for this one file. The window (a) is empty, and (b) cannot
be closed (Close, Close All, Close Others). It survives refreshing the
project, rebuilding the project, closing and opening the project, and
quitting and restarting Eclipse. It survives my editing the file (which
has no apparent problems) in an external text editor. I haven't yet tried
reinstalling Eclipse.
The minor nuisance is that I have had to recreate the project under a
different name in order to use Eclipse with it any longer. The major
nuisance is that this ghost window is ALWAYS THERE.
Is there some preferences file I can kill that holds the current display?
(Oh, and resetting the Java perspective, or closing and opening it,
doesn't get rid of the tab, either.)
OK, I just got a new behavior. This time, when I quit and restarted
Eclipse, and clicked on the ghost tab, JVM crashed. This seems to have
fixed the problem! When I restarted Eclipse, it found the Java file, and
that tab became normal again.
Still, I'd like to know if there's a better way to solve this kind of
problem?
Mac 10.3.7, Java 1.4.2, Eclipse 3.1M4.

Do you know what was different to get you into this state?
If so please log a bug report to repair this defect.
Thanks
