When I try to add a new class to the src folder of a new Java project, I get the following error in the log file. Any help would be welcomed!

bsonnenf,

I am afraid, I cannot replicate this issue at my end. Can you answer below queries for me?
1. Can you copy and paste your installation details. Open MyEclipse IDE, from menu options click on MyEclipse > Installation Summary > Installation Details
2. What is your ME version and build-id? From menu options click on Help > About MyEclipse Enterprise Version. If you are on 8.6, please verify if your version and build-id is as below -
Version: 8.6
Build id: 8.6-20100806
If no, then click on Help > MyEclipse Configuration Center. Choose Dashboard tab. Apply the software updates and click on [Apply x changes] button under *Pending Changes* section. This will open a wizard, when prompted please choose to restart the IDE.
3. Can you perform -clean? Please refer - http://www.myeclipseide.com/PNphpBB2-viewtopic-t-10280.html
4. If the above doesn't work, can you switch to a new workspace and check if the issue persists? From menu options click on File > Switch Workspace > Other and choose a different workspace location.

Let me know how this works for you?

Best.

bsonnenf,

Have you installed PHPEclipse? Reason I ask, your issues are similar to the one reported here - http://www.myeclipseide.com/PNphpBB2-printview-t-23435-start-0.html and I also see a related PHP ticket here - http://www.phpeclipse.com/ticket/730
