"Could not delete" error [message #147128] Thu, 06 April 2006 23:43 Go to next message

Hi,

My code does not compile with the following error message:

The project was not built due to "Could not delete: /PmgJUtils/bin/db.".
Fix the problem, then try refreshing this project and building it since it
may be inconsistent

That is one of my output dirs, but the error persists no matter what, even
if I delete the directory by hand.

Thanks!

Please forgive my ignorance about my favorite application :), but exactly
is "workbench"? Does that mean close Eclipse?

Hi Chin.

Yes it does mean that. 'Workbench' is the usual Eclipse name for the
IDE itself.

BTW, another very useful thing to try whenever you get problems like
this is to start eclipse with an extra argument of '-clean'.

The '-clean' argument tells Eclipse to get rid of stuff which it
normally caches between work sessions. The cache is there to improve
startup performance, but sometimes it retains references to things
which no longer exist and that can make it fall over as you describe.

HTH

Thank you. Using -clean now. (My instanse of Eclipse runs for an average
of 2 weeks so start up performance is not a considereation!)

Thanks again!

Actually I spoke too soon!

The same problem is still there. It's complaining about not being able to
delete a directory which by now, no longer exists!

That's the darnest thing!

Thanks!
