Hi I'm using Eclipse Luna for my php development, my environment is Linux Mint 17

I install by extracting compressed eclipse to my home folder.

My project folder is PHP/project

To secure my webserver I create a developer group and include my user in it
Then for every project folder I give a owner www-data:developer and a permission of 570.
For upload and cache folder I gave them 770 permission.

It work flawlessly the web can be access normally and I can edit the file using "Vim" or normal "Text Editor" like the built in or Geany

But when editing using Eclipse it stated that the file is Read-only and when editing it will prompt me "File is read only you want to make it writable ?" when I answer yes, nothing happern

I use git for versioning . the .git folder also has the same permission as above and no problem when doing push or pull or commit.

Try remove and reimport the project but it still the same

It seems Eclipse doesn't check the file group permission

owner : group owner |user : group : other
www-data : developer | r-x : rwx : --- > Eclipse cannot write
www-data : developer | rwx : rwx : --- > Eclipse cannot write
eclipseuser : www-data | rwx : r-x : --- > Eclipse can write

Note : eclipseuser is belong to the developer group

so It is possible to make eclipse check if he belong to the group ?
