the -vm argument is pointing to correct jvm.dll file.
This happens when I try to open my eclipse.exe.
I tried removing the launcher library, it doesn't fix the issue.
Any help please ?
I just downloaded the BIRT design folder and unzipped it. I tried doing it again, thinking some extraction problem. din help.
It was caused because of some variables in my environmental variables. the values were too high.
I have been struggling with a very weird issue that has suddenly popped up on the latest version of Eclipse Classic (4.2.2).
Everytime I try creating or refactoring a class or subclass in any of my projects (all Java) in my Eclipse workspace I get an error at the very top of my class that says
A class file was not written. The project may be inconsistent, if so try refreshing this project and building it
Again, this happens when I create new classes. And even when I rename current classes, then undo the renaming, its totally fine, but changing a single character in the name causes this error to happen for that specific class.
I have Auto Build on, and I tried multiple times to clean and refresh every project as well as restart Eclipse entirely.
I have literally no idea how to even start figuring out how to fix this. The solutions i've found through search didn't help, so i'm hoping I might find any clues here.
I had the same problem and here's how I solved it in the end:
It turned out that the disc space on the drive where workspace resides was full.
Silly mistake but worth checking.
In my case, this was caused by the fact that the build output directories were owned by a different user, and Eclipse could not write into them.
I had the same issues, the following worked for me:
Right click eclipse then running "as an Administrator"
Click Project > Clean.
Clean your workspace by starting eclipse from the command line with the -clean argument :
eclipse -clean
See also How to run eclipse in clean mode? and what happens if we do so?
I solved this problem by running Eclipse as root.
I had the same issue on Mac OS X. I had a maven project.
Try running the following command on Terminal. This looks like an access issue.
sudo mvn clean
Provide password for admin user.
Then open Eclipse and refresh your project.
We are using Eclipse here too and have to handle a workspace with more than 200 plug-ins. Every now and then people have similar problems with their workspace and inconsistencies reported in a weird way by Eclipse.
What people here usually do is (next step only in case previous step didn't help):
- trying to ContextMenu->Team->Clean/Refresh the whole workspace
- creating a new workspace and check out all necessary files from the repository
- reinstalling Eclipse to a new directory
From my experience after using the Eclipse IDE on a daily basis for many years, it doesn't make very much sense to waste too much time with these issues, unless they aren't solved by one of the steps above. It takes too much time to struggle with these things, while starting from scratch is done in an hour or less (and usually fixes the issue).
If your Eclipse still behaves strangely it might make sense to go through your installed plug-ins. Not all external plug-ins follow the Eclipse guidelines and can seriously harm the performance and operational consistency of your Eclipse installation (E.g. Sonar Plug-in, Toad Plug-in, ...)
In my case this kind of error caused due to disk space got full and it got resolved by just freeing disk space where eclipse have been installed.
That is c/d/e drivers.
I come up with the same error, and in my case, this is because the permission of the project/bin directory is not recursively 775
I fixed it by:
Remove the project/bin directory: sudo rm -rf project/bin
Switch to Eclipse, rebuild the project: Project->Clean...
Then no errors.
Try to launch Eclipse as Administrator.
In my case such error was caused by a question mark in a quoted method name (I use geb+spock combination for automated testing).
So this method name will throw an error "Do you want something?"()
And this will not "Do you want something"()
It may not be the best response but to fix it, I've just delete the error marker.
Had the same issue. but cleaning the project and restart eclipse didn't help and disk space was not the issue. Solved the issue by copy the code to notepad(just to not lose it) and then delete the class, recreate it and paste the code back in again.
I solved it changed the owner of the project files. I changed from root(old owner) to user my current(user that i use with eclipse).
Just changed and saved java file to recompile the class. Then error disappeared.
I was try run
Project->Clean...
And Rebuild. My problem was resolved
For linux (Debia) and working on Spring boot project (maven):
$ sudo mvn clean
Then open Eclipse and File -> Refresh.
I had same issue, it is something similar but this post didn't help in my case. I have many inner classes which is causing the compiler to create class names with all inner class names together that is creating class name more than 255 character file limit on NTFS! read it in some other blog. I thought it will be helpful to post here.
Ex : classA$InnerClassB$......InncerClassZ.class in target folder it won't generate the class if it exceeds this limit. Try renaming your inner class name shortened. In my case i have to add InnerclassZ as its exceeding its not generating class and Eclipse complaining.
A class file was not written. The project may be inconsistent, if so try refreshing....
I shortened InnerClassZ to IClassZ fixed the issue.
I had the same issue and it got fixed by running eclipse in administrator mode
Eclipse Shortcut-->Right click-->More-->Run as Administrator
I've been throught that error once when I used wsdl2java to extract java classes from a wsdl, it turns out that all classes were created in the same "class", causing end classes with long names (error - File name too long). When I organized and rename some classes the error disappeared.
I had this issue. I did the following, it resolved.
Open Eclipse in Administrator mode; Right click on eclipse.exe "Run as administrator"
Clean all projects.
#Denny's answer put me on the right track, though in my case it was the target directory. I deleted it for some reason and something automatically recreated with owner root. Changing the directory owner was not enough as it contained files that were also owned by root. So make sure to really remove the complete content of the directory and to change the owner.
In my case current user didn't have access to this project dir
Before giving a try to the above solutions. Just cleaned the project and it worked.
so once again, I'm having a little problem I can't figure out myself. Meaning, I'm pretty sure I know what the problem is, I just can't fix it.
I'm developing in C++ using Netbeans 7.01 with CMake 2.8.6. However, when I'm trying to build a project, I get the following error from CMake:
CMake Error: The path to the source directory:
H:/Projects/Netbeans/CppApplication_1/CONF=Release
contains unsupported character '='.
Please use a different source directory name.
Please note, that "CONF=Release" isn't a folder. It seems to be a configuration flag set by Netbeans, as it changes when I'm trying a debug build. So, my guess here is, that theres a space missing, or something similar. Unfortunately, I can't figure out where to change that. There are no options in any related Netbeans window, I can't find anything related in the configuration files for netbeans itself or the project either.
Did anyone here have experienced the same problem and found a solution to it? I would be very glad to hear it. If there's any information missing, let me know, I will add them as fast as possible.
Edit:
Just noticed there is already version 7.1 of netbeans, nice to know. However, even with this version, the same problem occurs.
You must specify the command you ran to allow for the error to be identified. However, it looks like you missed the "source-path" parameter.
The cmake command ends with the path to source and should be something like:
cmake -D CONF=Release <path to source>
I've installed the Protobuf-dt plugin in Eclipse and It's working okay, except for a weird problem related to it's integration with Protoc.
When I point it to it's executable, it says the file isn't protoc. If I point it to PATH, it doesn't show me any error but when I save the .proto file, it shows me an error saying that it haven't found protoc.
If I compile my .proto file manually with command line (using the same executable), it works okay.
Could it be a problem related to my 64 bits environment (windows/eclipse/jdk)? I haven't found a win64 executable of protoc.
Does anyone had the same problem? Any tip would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
I believe it was some Bug. I raised an Issue on theirs Google Code page and they seem to have fixed.

I had exactly the same problem. I did not restart my machine, and just used "eclipse -clean" to start eclipse. It worked. Thanks Jon for the hint.
Does restarting your computer resolve the problem with being able to open the workspace? There is a forum post (http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?messageID=3131484#3131484) that describes a similar problem with an identical stack trace as the one shown above. In the post, the author mentions that their machine was low on resources (they did not specify what type of resources were running low).
If restarting your computer does not work, you may want to try starting eclipse with the clean option:
eclipse -clean
The clean option will clean out any caches that Eclipse has created.
If all else fails, you may want to open a bug for this problem at https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/. Including a copy of your workspace (if possible), and including the stack trace in the bug would be helpful information for the person trying to diagnose the problem.
Good Luck!
Well, some things you can try are:
Delete workspace .metadata dir. Obviously you will lose your workbench configuration.
Rename your .metadata dir. Start Eclipse, and you will have a new .metadata dir. Close Eclipse, delete the new dir, and rename back the original dir. It sometimes works.
HI,
Check the task manager, whether any java process(java.exe or javaw.exe) running even after the closing of workbench. Kill those processes. You will get this error resolved
For me, I think this has something to do with my dual monitor setup and Actual Multiple Monitors that I have installed. I disabled that and the problem is gone.
This worked when I moved the eclipse.ini from the eclipse install folder (where .exe is present). I ran into this problem when I was trying to increase the heap size in the eclipse.ini file (although I had seen this error earlier)
