Start eclipse. Open the preferences dialog. Click on "Debug" in the left hand column. Check the "Remove terminated launches when a new launch is created" checkbox. Click on "Apply" and then click "OK". Close eclipse and then start it up again. Go to the same preference page. Note that the "Remove terminated launches..." checkbox is not checked. This affects more than just the debug preference page, I also tried some of JDT's preference pages. I was using the 0602 build but I tried this on the 0606 build and it fails there as well.
Moving to Debug for the "Remove terminated launches when a new launch is created" case. Please see bug 19494 and if there are still some you know of that are not covered, please add list them there.
I cannot reproduce on WINNT...is this related to bug 18644?
It doesn't sound related.
Looking at this a little further there seem to be two problems. One is that some plugins are not saving some preferences. This seems to be covered by bug #19494. The other is that preferences that were saved in F1 are no longer saved in F2. This is the one I am interested in as it affects my plugin as well. To reproduce: 1. start eclipse 2. open the preferences dialog 3. expand "Java" 4. expand "Debug" 5. click on "Step Filtering" 6. In the Step Filtering dialog check the box beside "javax.*" 7. click "OK" 8. close eclipse 9. start eclipse again 10. Check the Step Filtering preference page and note that the checkmark is gone beside "javax.*" I debugged this a little bit and it seems it is getting an IOException when it tries to write to the pref_store.ini file. There doesn't appear to be anything wrong with my drive and I have 3G free. I also tried it on another machine and it failed there as well. This worked with the F1 driver.
Sorry, this probably is a dup of bug 18644.
