Hi
I made a new installation of Eclipse (3.1.0 I20050627-1435) and MyEclipse (20050829-4.0.0-GA). I used my already existing workspace. When I start Eclipse I get the following message in the log file:

!SESSION 2005-09-13 07:32:32.809 -----------------------------------------------
eclipse.buildId=I20050627-1435
java.version=1.5.0_04
java.vendor=Sun Microsystems Inc.
BootLoader constants: OS=win32, ARCH=x86, WS=win32, NL=de_CH
Command-line arguments:  -os win32 -ws win32 -arch x86

!ENTRY com.genuitec.eclipse.core 1 0 2005-09-13 07:32:40.290
!MESSAGE Unable to locate .myeclipse.properties file

What does it mean and what are the problems I will get when the application doesn’t find this file?

Thanks for your help

I used my already existing workspace.

This is usually discouraged depending on what version of Eclipse you were upgrading from. Please be sure to restart with -clean if you want to keep using the same workspace, although if you run into problems down the road, we will suggest creating a new workspace and importing your projects into it. Your workspace stores a huge amount of data that is specific to he version of Eclipse you are running, you are *suppose* to be able to keep using the same one and have Eclipse recreate files as necessary, but the real-world side effect of using the same workspace between versions is major weirdness.

This file is located in your C:\Documents and Settings\<user dir> directory, it’s a global location used to stored your subscription information so you don’t need to reenter it into each workspace you work with.

Hi
thanks for your answer.
Do I have to use always the -clean option or only once?

Thanks

Only once, it tells Eclipse to rebuild it’s plugin cache.
