ddanet,
I wasn’t able to reproduce this, the modifications made by (TextPad in my case) external editor showed up in the file once I refreshed and opened it. Can you do a File > Switch Workspace and try this with a new Web Project, the same steps, and see if it still happens? I wonder if it is a stale local history for your workspace or something…

Is there a fix for this? I get this error alot using XP SP2 using MyEclipseIDE 3.8.3

For what? The delete-key problem?

[ndenkha]

Has this been fixed or has a work around? its very annoying to keep restarting the ide.

[Riyad Kalla]

This should be fixed in M3, but double check us when it is released next week and try it out and see if it is infact fixed.

I’m getting the same editor bugs… delete key did not complete normally due to NullPointerException and then backwards typing, not able to save document with changes, the editor does remember the (cached?)changes even after closing and opening the document but reports errors based on the real unchanged state of the jsp. If you need more log files or data, let me know. I’m using MyEclipse 4.0 Milestone 2, JDK 1.5.0_04, and XP SP2.

[Riyad Kalla]

Please upgrade to M3 and double check us to see that it is fixed. A newsletter should go out soon with directions on how to do that.

[dhoff]

M3 fixed it. Thanks.
