WSAD / Eclipse task list

One thing that is ticking me off right now is the task list in Eclipse / WSAD. Here is how I have the problem: I deleted files from our project which adds a task that says *.java has been deleted locally; did a sync and removed them from the repository; later before I shutdown WSAD it crashed and did not "save the workspace" properly. Well, now I can't seem to get rid of those messages.

I found they are stored in WORK_SPACE_PATH\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.core.resources\.projects\PROJECT_NAME\.markers file. But the file doesn't seem to be a plain text doc so I don't really feel comfortable editing it. Does anyone have a solution to this? I tired removing the .markers file but I couldn't seem to get it to refresh. I don't know how to remove this from the GUI in WSAD... Anyone have any ideas?

  1. Have you tried re-syncing the project? That would redo the markers, wouldn't it?

  2. Yes, I have re-sync'ed many times. I think that when the cvs plugin sends a "delete this file" command and receives a "success", it removes the task. If you don't close down correctly, it doesn't save this.
    And other than re-adding the file, putting it in the repository, deleting the file locally, re-sync'ing with the repository and then shutting down correctly I don't see a easy way to get past this using WSAD.... *sigh*

  3. You could always check out the code in CVS as a new project and delete the old project.

  4. I also tried to get the files from my co-worker and see if those work at all (replace mine with his).
    It didn't. :-(
