"eclipse Could not save master table to file"

Question

I have my eclipse telling about every 10 minutes that "eclipse Could not save master table to file".

I found an old discusion on this, which tells to delete /home/<username>/.eclipse folder, but I did a search and there's no such folder in my whole system.

Any idea how to solve this?

If /home//.eclipse is doesn't exist they probably mean the folder where you have installed eclipse. I have found some other file that bugged me there. — Dimitar Slavchev, Aug 28 '12 at 07:15

Try setting correct privileges to the file

<workspace>/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.resources/.safetable/org.eclipse.core.resources`

I would suggest setting correct permissions for the whole workspace

It was solved with another eclipse version. I hadn't try your solution, but would probably work.. or not.. anyway.. :) – The Student Mar 01 '11 at 18:35

Thanks @VadimRutkovsky - unfortunately the link in the link doesn't work too well, ok, at least I have some place to search from – Kibi Apr 18 '12 at 16:16

it's clear from the path reported that .safetable is not a file, but a folder. I have just hit this issue and created the folder, in the hope that eclipse will create the file with its proper contents next time it tries. If I don't report back then you may assume this was all that was needed.

My .safetable file was missing, so I just created it and problem solved.
