I’m getting internal Eclipse errors trying to add WebProject capabilities to a project. I see the following in .metadata/.log

!ENTRY com.genuitec.eclipse.j2eedt.core 1 0 2006-08-25 10:09:26.761
!MESSAGE WebProject Capabilities Error:

I’ve censored client and product names in the log. I may have my config wrong, but I don’t think it should trigger internal errors in eclipse.

I also later see (these are logs from me trying a few options, clicking finish repeatedly, and the window not closing):

Hmm i’m seeing a lot of “not found” or “can’t find” errors like the following:

!MESSAGE Source folder ‘aaa/gensrc/proto’ in project bbb cannot output to distinct source folder ‘common/web/WEB-INF/classes’

Try refreshing your project as-is (without web capabilities), then Clean/Rebuild it, then restart MyEclipse using the -clean command line argument, then try and add web capabilities to it.

I’m assuming before you add web caps, you have no problems or error markers on the project right?

[mstevens]

No errors on anything I care about – I think there were some XML problems I had filtered out. But in general things were working fine, I could rebuild the project, etc.

Even if I have some errors in my project I’d expect to be told about problems rather than getting internal Eclipse errors.

Trying to add web capabilities seems to have partially added things, now I have a large number of errors flagged in jsp files. I also see mentions of things like HTML Syntax Validators when rebuilding.

I see the same errors in the log and the add capability window not closing on clicking ‘Finish’ after trying the rebuild and restart with -clean as you described.

[Riyad Kalla]

If you create a new workspace, using File > Switch Workspace > C:\tempworkspace, then hit OK. And create a new Java project, can you add web capabilities to it correctly?

[mstevens]

Yes, that works – or, at least, the window closes, I don’t get any errors, and a bunch of new folders like META-INF and WEB-INF are created – which I think is what it’s meant to do.

[Riyad Kalla]

Hmm, in your new workspace, can you import your old project that has problems and then try and add web capabilities to it… does it work then?

[mstevens]

Works if I import the old project in a new workspace.

[Riyad Kalla]

Sounds like something is busted in the old workspace and if -clean didn’t fix it, then the trick is to create a new workspace and use that. THe fastest way to do that is to use File > Export > Preferences to get your preferences out of your old workspace, then File > Import to pull in your old preferences and projects.

I know this is a pain and I’m sorry to suggest it, but sometimes workspaces go bad and -clean doesn’t even fix them. It used to happen quite a bit more in the Eclipse 2.x release series so it’s gotten much better, but from time to time it still happens.
