    I don’t know whether this is a MyEclipse problem or a general Eclipse problem, but perhaps you can shed some light on it either way. I am unable to save files and get an error message that reads “Save could not be completed. Reason: Has been changed on the file system.” although the files I’m trying to save have not been changed by another application. This just started happening today. I am working on files over a network, but up till today that hasn’t been a problem.

    I think I can help out. The way the Eclipse workspace operates, it keeps a cache on file mod dates and times to determine if it is working on the lastest copy of a file. When a file in the workspace is modified externally, this cache gets invalidated and Eclipse begins to complain as you’re seeing now. To fix the problem select the project in the Project Explorer view, right-click, and select ‘Refresh’ (or just hit F5). that will update Eclipse’s cache and allow you to save again.
