Hi,

I have using eclipse-jee-kepler-SR2-win32-x86_64.
We have created an eclipse plugin and using this plugin we are creating a java project in eclipse.
Once the project is created, lib folder has few plugin related jars(Example: x,y,z jars).
There are no source files in the project that are using this jars.

Now select this new project and from right click pop up click Delete option.
In "Delete Resources" dialog select "Delete project contents on disk (cannot be undone)" check box
Reason:
Problems encountered while deleting resources
Click OK.

Project does not get deleted and it throws following error message:
An exception has been caught while processing the refactoring Delete Resource(refer the attached file).

Now the lib folder has only one jar(z, rest all jars are deleted) which is being used and this is not allowing to delete the project.

Any clue why it is failing?

regards
Irfan

What's in the popup behind the one that's shown? What was in that lib folder?

Update to Luna SR1 and try it again. You never know.

Hi,

Pop up behind the one is delete resources confirmation dialog(Refer attachment)

Lib folder has plugin related jars.

I will update to Luna SR1 and try the delete project option.
