Re: [platform-core-dev] Deleting a project with locked files

If you haven't already done so, I suggest
entering a bug report for the NPE in DeleteResourceOperation. I don't know
of any way to run a check for files that have open file handles.  If
you can track down the code that's locking the file, you could make it
use an IFile scheduling rule while reading, which would prevent the delete
operation from starting until the read is finished.

Subject	[platform-core-dev] Deleting a project with locked files

In
PDE we having a situation where we are trying to delete a project that
contains at least one file which is currently in use/locked.  I was
wondering if there was any way to try to delete a project, and if we have
a problem deleting a file/folder, undo the deletion?  Or possibly
run a check to see if the project has any files which are locked/cause
problems during a delete? 

I have been playing around with DeleteResourcesOperation and can catch
the ExecutionException when a file is not able to be deleted, but when
I try to run DeleteResourcesOperation.undo(..), it throws a NPE (I imagine
since the operation was not run successfully). 

Any suggestions? 

Thanks!
