I am having an issue getting my Eclipse IDE to open my workspace. Here is the background info... I am running Fedora 20 I have Eclipse (Keppler) The error message that I get when I run my IDE for that workspace is: "Workspace at '/var/www/html' in use or cannot be created , choose a different one" The permissions for the html folder are rwxrw-rw- as well as for the www folder. root owns the folders. I can open an entirely different workspace no problem. But for some reason eclipse seems to think that this workspace is in use. There are no other processes running for eclipse. I have followed message board instructions to delete the .lock and the .log files from the .metadata folder in the workspace. I have even deleted the www and html folder altogether. Has anyone had this issue? Any advice would be appreciated. Mike
