In the WEB-INF directory, I have a file named test.html. I use it to quickly mock-up HTML tests. I wanted to copy this file and use it as a starting point for a different test.

So I RMB on the name test.html, chose copy, then RMB on WEB-INF and I chose paste.

I expected to get a “Name Conflict” dialogue and the chance to enter a new name. However I got a “Confirm Overwriting” warning instead. A quick test in another directory (WEB-INF/script) produced the expected rename dialogue.

Does this fall within your codebase, or should I file a bug with Ecplise? I assume it is yours as MyEcplise has an editor for HTML files.

Thanks

Argh, my bad.

This was in the WebRoot directory….

From that, I assume we can mark this closed? Correct?

In the original post, I mis-typed the directory where I was trying to copy/paste in. The problem was actually in the WebRoot directory. Sorry about the confusion.

Easy enough to reproduce:
– create index.html in WebRoot.
– RMB, and choose Copy
– select WebRoot, then RMB and choose paste

The expected action (how the rest of Eclipse works) is to get a dialoque which allows you to paste the file with a new name.

I just tried to replicate this and I get the standard eclipse rename dialog. Can you post all of your configuration details? MyEclipse Menu > About > Configuration Summary
Thanks.

Sigh.

I cannot now reproduce this. On the day I posted this I tried several times, and each time got the “Confirm Overwriting”. Now it works as expected. The only change is that I have shutdown/started Ecplise several times since then, with a cold-boot this AM.

If this happens again, I will try to narrow down the environment.

Thanks.
