Hi All. I’ve searched the forums and google but cannot find any help with an error i’m getting. I’ve Eclipse 5.1 installed (installation details at end of this post).

My problem is eclipse does not save (or rather does not ‘recall’) any launch configurations – particularly java & ant ones in my case. I can successfullly create a new JUnit configuration and it will appear in the list but not a Java applet, java application nor ant configuration. In the create/manager configuration panel I do not see a list of any previous launch configurations and if I create a new configuration the next time i come back it will not be there. It appears that the java configurations are being saved in the directory …

C:\Projects\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.debug.core\.launches

where my workspace is as it has a whole bunch of .launch files with the correct configuration names, but they never appear in the list. There are some errors in my .log file, but nothing seems to get written there when i access the configuration panel. The errors are of the form …

!ENTRY org.eclipse.debug.ui 4 120 2007-06-21 10:43:37.031
!MESSAGE Error logged from Debug UI:
!STACK 1
org.eclipse.debug.core.DebugException: Launch configuration New_configuration (2) at C:\Projects\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.debug.core\.launches\New_configuration (2).launch does not exist.

Can anyone shed any light of this? It’s a real pain to have to create new configurations each time you want to debug/run your project.

Thanks,
John.

John,
You could have a corrupted workspace. Try restarting using -clean as outlined here:

Thanks Riyad. The -clean did not fix the issue, so i created a new workspace and imported the project into that. All seems to work ok now.

John,
Sorry clean didn’t do it, but I’m glad the new workspace did the trick.
