MyEclipse (v 8.0.20091120) has just recently started throwing an error when I try and use the "Open Type" option (ctrl-alt T shortcut for me)

The Open Type popup appears but as soon as I start typing the class name in the text area, I get a "Problem Occured" popup saying:

Quote:

"Items filtering" has encountered a problem. An internal error occured during "Items Filtering".

Clicking details shows me the following:

Quote:

An internal error occurred during: "Items filtering". Class file name must end with .class

The error log shows the following error:

DaftMule,
Can you try using -clean as mentioned in the link below and check if the issue persists
http://myeclipseide.com/PNphpBB2-viewtopic-t-10280.html

Tried that already, to no avail I'm afraid.

DaftMule,
Can you switch to a new workspace and check if the issue persists? If the issue still persists, can you try pulse?
The following are the steps using pulse -
1. Download pulse explorer from www.poweredbypulse.com.
2. Open pulse explorer and select "Eclipse Galileo" in the left pane.
3. Your profile should be listed uder myprofiles. Select your profile, right click on it and from the context menu select "Re-install and Run".

Let me know if this works for you.

All was OK when I switched to a new workspace. By way of a test, I went into my old workspace and closed all projects except two I was using and the crash did not happen. It would therefore seem that the problem lies with the Open Type trying to reference something that it doesn't like in another project.
