Aprium Software

Just a quick fix I found for an eclipse error.

The error message I got was "Problems occurred while trying to save the state of the workbench." and it appeared when eclipse was closing or periodically saving.

The fix is simply create a directory in your workbench directory. My workbench is in /var/www so I used.

mkdir /var/www/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.resources/.projects/RemoteSystemsTempFiles/

Restart eclipse and no more error messages!

Its amazing that a piece of software as big as eclipse can look so awful. When you add the application to your os x dock it will put at low res icon in there. Eclipse does ship with a high res icon but doesn't use it? In this post Pier has kindly written a shell script to replace the low res icon with the hi res png link.
