Hey all. I have a slight problem with Eclipse that I cannot seem to work out or resolve via google searching.

I have a project checked out from SVN in Eclipse via Subclipse. The check out went well and I am able to build via ant with no issues. The problem arises when I attempt to traverse the code via built-in functions, e.g. 'Open Declaration'. Selecting a variable or class name and pressing 'Open Declaration' pops up an exception message with the following text:
Quote:

Problems opening editor.
Reason: [project name] does not exist

[project name] is always the top-level name of my project, regardless of what it is.

I have now tried this (checking out and building) a few times and the results are always the same: it builds, but no dice on browsing the code. Any help to resolve or troubleshoot this issue would be greatly appreciated! Smile
