Description Ralf Hauser CLA 2006-05-08 12:21:33 EDT
For security reasons, I had to split my workspace into several trueCrypt drives of 4 GB.

Now I try to open a project that is no longer on drive W:\, but on drive V:\

In the log, I see:
<<!ENTRY org.eclipse.ui.ide 4 4 2006-05-08 17:25:03.46
!MESSAGE Problems occurred opening the selected resources.
!SUBENTRY 1 org.eclipse.core.resources 4 567 2006-05-08 17:25:03.46
!MESSAGE The project description file (.project) for tomcatConf is missing.  This file contains important information about the project.  The project will not function properly until this file is restored.>>

When clicking on project properties, I get the attached screenshot1.

When deleting the project without deleting the content (sources) and trying to add the project again - an approach that has helped me in similar situations in the past - I get the error reported in Bug 140605.

Again, it would be great to get some hints how to fix this.

in workspace/.metadata, I grep'ed through all kinds of file in the hope I could fix the path in an xml or so since re-adding of the project does not work.

Best would even be to equip that location field in the editor with a browsebox such that I could fix that path...

If you do a refactor-> move you should be sorted out.
