Hi I have just recently installed Eclipse 3.1.2 on a dell desktop running
SUSE 8.2.

Last night I was playing with the compiler and debugger and running
programs etc etc.......

I turned off the machine (via linux) with out closing down the
application.

When I tried runnin loading eclipse this morning .. ie select the
workspace .....

I get the "workspace can not be set" error.

when I log in as root ... there are no problems ... I can load any
workspace including the one belonging the the other user profile.

One other thing I noticed .. when choosing a workspace the text box has a
yellow background ... this seems to be gone under the offending profile.

It seems, that your regular user doesn't have write permissions on
workspace files and directories.

could it be, that after this week, once, this workspace was accessed under the root. and,
some files, that are owned by root were created?
