Using Eclipse 3.0.1 with MyEclipse 3.8.1., I started getting errors during the save for a configuration file (i.e. navigation-config.xml, web.xml). I updated MyEclipse to 3.8.3 yet still I have this problem. It's causing me to use two editors for my development. How do I workaround this?

Thanks.

Lorinda,
Shut down Eclipse and try restarting it with the -clean command line argument added to your shortcut, let Eclipse rebuild its plugin cache and see if the problem goes away. If it doesn't, please paste the result of Help > About > Configuration Details for us to look at.

Riyad,

Thanks for your quick response. The problem was not MyEclipse.

I had an expired version of Exadel's JSF Studio installed. It was the default XML editor. So, each time I tried to save, paste, etc... I received errors because I was in their editor. As a workaround, I started to manually select 'MyEclipse XML Editor'.

I just uninstalled the exadel plugins and did a clean. Everything's fine now.

glad to hear its working now.

Even though the problem is not with MyEclipse, I thought I'd post a follow-up for this issue as I have found another cause, just in case somebody else is searching for a solution.

I installed the VI editor for Eclipse (version 1.10.6 from http://satokar.com/viplugin/index.php). This caused the same errors. The editor generally worked well, but I did recieve the Save Failed:null error when trying to save my struts-config.xml files. I had no problems with any other files (even other xml files).

Closing the file (without saving), turning off the editor, reopening the file and making the changes again (without the vi editor) seems to allow saving of files.
