I’ve had a problem for several releases now of external XML files not being saved after editing. The editor and validator will work but the changes do not save. Is this a bug or hidden feature?

thanks,

Please clarify what you mean by external XML files. How are you opening them? They exist outside of the project? Are they inside of any project? When you save them, do you get any exceptions in your log file? (workspace dir\.metadata\.log) and can you please post all the information we request in the [URL=http://www.myeclipseide.com/PNphpBB2+file-viewtopic-t-393.html]Posting Guidelines[/URL] thread at the top of this forum? That will give us some context so that we can determine if this is an installation issue, a configuration problem, or a bug. Thanks.

Eclipse 3.1.
MyEclipse 4.0m3
Linux RedHat 9

XML files outside the project.

Opening with File->Open file

Here is an error from the log when I’m editing the XML file
