Re: [scala] [Fwd: Re: [scala-lounge] Unable to start Eclipse]

Maybe use 3.4 rather than 3.3? Eclipse does this to me also when
I'm debugging the plugin after a crash. Its just crazy, sometimes
it can't find any of my classes, but a second restart usually cleans
things up. Is there a crash involved?

This bug should be reported to the Eclipse people. This isn't
really a Scala plugin issue (well, as far as the Scala plugin is
designed to run on Eclipse goes...). I think the whole workspace
concept is kind of fragile, and they don't really store metadata
in a robust way. But Eclipse is the best thing we have right
now...
