Hi,

I have a file "meta.inc" that I include into the top of my JSP files.

On previous versions of Eclipse and MyEclipseIDE I could open, edit and save this file without any problems.

Running the latest version of both on Windows XP with the 1.5 JDK I get the following error every time I try to save the file:

Save failed: The function "createElement" returned an error condition (0x80530005)

The file does seem to save though.

Any ideas?

Cheers

Darren.

Darren,
Can you go to MyEclipse > Installation Summary > Installation Details and paste the result here for me? We are aware of a problem when the visual designer is *disabled* where users get an errorneous dialog that says "Saved Failed: NULL", but the file infact saves.

Is your designer disabled or can you open and edit HTML/JSP pages visually?

Hi,

I do seem to be able to visually edit HTML / JSP pages.

Darren,
How reproducable is this, does it happen every time? If you restart using the -clean command line argument does it still happen? If you create a new workspace with 1 temporary project in it (File > Switch Workspace) does it happen? Does it happen with .jsp and .html files? What about .jspf files? Just .inc?

Hi,

I've done some digging and it looks like the save only fails when the file contains HTML comments:

<!-
/**
* Preload images
*/
-->

If I try to save the file when it contains the above text I get the aforementioned error (every time). If I delete it, I don't get an error.

Cheers

Darren.

Darren,
I reproduced the problem and will file it as a bug, but just a heads up, that's not a valid HTML comment, you need another dash:

<!--
/** blah */
-->

Then the file saves... but it's odd that with the wrong comment the file doesn't save. That's definately a bug.

Hi,

Ah, thanks for that. Didn't spot the typo.

I've corrected it and now the file does indeed save without generating an error.

Regards

Darren.
