"Could Not Write File" ? [message #1067123] Fri, 05 July 2013 22:00 Go to next message
Eclipse UserFriend
I am trying to run the "Hello World!" application and when I click Run As > Java Application, a dialog box pops up with the following message:

Could not write file: /Users/kendaldale17/Documents/workspace/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.debug.core/.launches.

Any ideas as to what to do to solve this problem?

Kendall,

Have you tried editing that file directly? Typically something like
this means you either don't have permission or something else has opened
the file for writing and hasn't yet closed the output stream. Exiting
and restarting Eclipse might help.

You're right, when I tried to restart Eclipse it gave me the error message of "See the log file" when I select which workspace to start working from. It directs me to the documents folder, but I can't find the /.metadata/.log file that it is directing me to look at.

Kendall,

You can either edit that file directly in your OS or you can view it
using the Error Log view.
