Run time error image

The students have created multiple projects and classes in Eclipse Neon and prior to today were able to view them and run them with no problems today when a few of the students opened their version of Eclipse they got a weird error and none of their classes can be viewed in Eclipse.  The error says Cannot determine URI for '/PP 3.1/src/Usernames.java' for all classes that were opened in their prior session and now new class and project can be created because when they and try and run those another error appears and says something about not being able to write the file or something...

First of all, thanks for reporting!

The message displayed in the attached error image says "Could not write file (..) \org.eclipse.debug.core\.launches"

As org.eclipse.debug.core is usually packaged as jar; I would like to know how is possible that you can write inside it ? 

You should create classes in a folder, under your workspace, and not inside a jar, which is a compressed file. 

I suggest also to check that your workspace is accessible without special privileges. As example, in windows, you can use %UserProfile%/workspace . 
(in windows 10: becomes C:\Users\<username>\workspace ) 

Actions: 

Please, try again using a proper workspace, and tell if this solved the issue.

If the error persists, please, reports the steps to reproduce the issue, so we can better identify the issue.

C:\Users\myron.bradford\Google Drive\Programming 2014\EclipseProjects
is an example of a workspace that we create as a class the kids' worspace only changes becasue they use their Student ID number instead of their name before the Google Drive folder....
