Periodically (during autosave) and at close i get:
Problems saving workspace
(X) Problems occurred while trying to save the state of the workbench.
Details >>
Could not write metadata for '/projectname'.
encoded string too long: 123456 bytes
Can't find a reason or solution for this using the usual means. Any ideas how to fix? THis is using eclipse 3.4 (Ganymede)
It's not a write permissions or disk-space issue. I'm getting the same problem on Eclipse 3.5 M4. No troubles with 3.4.1.
It should relate to a bug in DataOuputStream that it cannot writeUTF with longer then 65535 utflen.
If I were you, I will try to find a way to reduce the data size, and I will submit bug report to Eclipse and JRE.
Started having the same issues under Vista x64. The latest JRE appears to not have the same DataOuputStream limitation so installing it fixes the annoyance.
An observation I've made about these occurrences for me is that they only occur on newly created projects during the same Eclipse session that I created the project. Once I restart Eclipse, I don't see the issue again until the next time I create a new project.
Has anyone else noticed this about the occurrences of the error for them?
