'Unable to save store preferences in Eclipse (Using wrong Directory?)
Recently my shortcut keys stopped working. Whenever I try to change them in Window -> Preferences -> Keys and save I get this error:
'Store preferences' has encountered a problem.
AN internal error occurred during: "Store preferences"
Details:
An internal error occurred during: "Store preferences".
java.io.FileNotFoundException: C:\Users\bestg\eclipse-workspace\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.oomph.setup\workspace.setup (The system cannot find the path specified)
However this path is not the right path, this is an path I have on another on another windows installation I have on this PC (not a different user, different drive/OS). The path should be C:\Users\brick\eclipse-workspace\.metadata\
I tried creating a shortcut to the right area in a folder I made 'C:\Users\bestg' but this did not work. I have also tried both switching workspaces inside eclipse and manually setting the workspace through eclipse.ini:
-Dosgi.instance.area.default="C:\Users\brick\eclipse-workspace"
and config.ini
osgi.instance.area.default="C:\Users\brick\eclipse-workspace"
However I am still getting this error when trying to save my shortcuts and can not use my shortcuts
