Using workspace on network volume in Mac OS X Yosemite [message #1511038]

I couldn't get Eclipse Luna to access a workspace on another Mac on my network (both Macs running Yosemite)--even after changing its privileges to let everybody read & write.

The solution was adding this line to the file /Applications/eclipse/configuration/config.ini:

osgi.locking = none

This has been reported elsewhere as regards Active Directory and Open Directory users, but AFAIK hasn't previously been confirmed for Luna and Yosemite on a simple Mac network file sharing setup.

If I understand the issue correctly, turning off locking creates a risk of workspace corruption if two users should simultaneously access the workspace, so beware.

Have you searched Eclipse bugzilla to see if this "limitation" has been reported?

And yes, without workspace locking you're taking a big risk of screwing up the workspace, probably even moreso using a workspace on a remote file system that's available to more than one machine.
