I’m running MyEclipse Enterprise Workbench Version: 9.0, Build id: 9.0-20110318, on a windows (32bit) system. i get the following msg when i try to refresh my project:

‘Refreshing external folders’ has encountered a problem.
An internal error occured during: “Refreshing external folders”.

Details:
An internal error occurred during: “Refreshing external folders”.
java.lang.NullPointerException

Does anyone have any experience with it or an idea how to fix it?

IGB,

Sorry to hear you are running into this issue. Can you elaborate more on the issue you are facing and answer below queries ?
1. Can you copy and paste your installation details? Open MyEclipse IDE, from menu options click on MyEclipse > Installation Summary > Installation Details
2. How did you install ME? Meaning using – all-in-one installer / pulse / archived update site on top of eclipse classic?
3. Have you added 3rd party plugins to your ME profile? If yes, please list them here and attach a screenshot of MyEclipse Configuration Center > Software tab
4. Perform a clean. Refer – https://www.genuitec.com/forums/topic/troubleshoot-using-the-clean-command-line-argument/
5. If the issue persists, please clear your .log file located at [your workspace dir]/.metadata/.log, replicate the steps and attach the file
6. Can you attach a screenshot of the issue you are facing, this will help me get a visual
7. Have you added any 3rd party plugins using dropins?
8. What is the type of project you are trying to refresh? I am afraid I cannot replicate this at my end
9. Can you please check https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=321358 and verify if you are experiencing similar eclipse issue. One of the user recommends closing the project and opening again. Can you also follow and check if this helps?

Best.

Joy,

Thank you for your quick reply and very helpful hints. Closing and opening the project solved my problem for now. Perhaps my settings are still interesting, see below:

I’m not sure what exaclty you like to know. From the Project Preferences -> Resources Type is Project.

Thanks.

IGB,

Good to hear you are all set. Thank you for the details. I am afraid, you experienced an eclipse 3.6.1 issue which is inherited on ME 9.0, since it is based on Eclipse 3.6.1. Good to hear that closing and opening the project refreshed your project and fixed the NPE.

Best.
