Description Ian Tewksbury CLA 2011-04-13 14:46:26 EDT 
An adopter product has been on occasion been seeing a BackingStoreException when saving preferences only while on Windows 7.  This exception has been seen from multiple adopter plugins.

Sorry I don't have more information or details about circumstances under which this happens.  It appears to be random, and not very frequent.  The only common denominator for sightings of this is while running on Windows 7.

org.osgi.service.prefs.BackingStoreException: Exception occurred while saving project preferences: /FaceletsDemo/.settings/com.ibm.etools.references.prefs.

If you can see this error message, then in the .log there should be also the root exception logged. Please attach full .log file for investigation.

Closing due to lack of information. Please reopen providing the requested file if you see this again.
