errorLog

When I create a new Java project and use a network share as location, an error with following message occurs:
    "Problems encountered while setting project description.
     Could not write file: H:\workspaces\eclipse45\test2\sdf\.project."
I can see that the ".project" file gets created. Manually, I am also able to modify it. Looking at the Windows permissions seems also fine, as I am allowed to write on that file, but nobody else.
When I create the project on a local drive, everything works fine. But since I am in a school environment, it is necessary that a project gets created on each student's home directory on the network share.
I am using Mars.2 but trying with Neon gave the same result.

Does anyone have an idea what might cause this problem? Can I provide more information?


Best regards
Sebastian

Moving to platform/resources.

Sebastian, you might also want to post this in the Eclipse forum and see if people there can offer you help.

Can you still reproduce this using Neon (4.6.3)?

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet. As such, we're closing this bug.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it and reopen this bug. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
