I also searched the forum and one of the posters had a problem identical to mine, and the suggestion was to remove the configuration directory and restart. I tried that too, did not work so I restored the configuration directory back.

Thanks,

Sujit,

What steps did you take that resulted in the issue?
It was working fine till yesterday. Eclipse was doing an autoupdate for AJDT while I was setting up a resin application server, so I did not immediately restart when the update was complete, as I was asked to by the installer. But I did restart multiple times after that, and I am getting the same error.

Before we go further, could you tell us what you are actually trying to do?

Are you editing a text file, a jsp or an xml file perhaps? What editor were you using?
Does the error occur when you startup eclipse and open the editor – do other editors work?
Does the standard text editor work for the file you are editing (Right click > Open With > Text Editor)?
Can you edit other files?

Can you try starting eclipse with the -clean switch and see if the problem goes away?

Best,
Brian.
