Okay, played around with this for a while, and made a little bit of progress. Deleting the file doesn't seem to have any effect. I copied the whole google_appengine directory to another directory, then changed the project to point to that one instead. After a restart and force rebuild, it had the correct data from the file system. Then I made an edit on the file system, rebuilt/restarted again, and the change I made was reflected in Eclipse. Here's where it got interesting. I kept having to run the editor in admin mode to have permission to modify the file. I thought the permissions might have something to do with the problem. I modified the file to give me full access to the file. After doing that, I was able to modify the file in Eclipse, and the edit showed up on the file system. Then I tried reducing the permissions again, and making an edit in Eclipse. That edit wasn't reflected on the file system, as you might expect. However, after performing that save in Eclipse, the link to the file system got irreparably broken. Edits in the file system don't show up in Eclipse, and saves in Eclipse don't show up on the file system--even if I tweak the permissions again. I'm not sure how I would have broken the link in the first place. But I'm guessing that if I try to save to a file I don't have permissions to modify, pydev or Eclipse creates its own copy somewhere, and starts to use that. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Start uncovering the many advantages of virtual appliances and start using them to simplify application deployment and accelerate your shift to cloud computing. http://p.sf.net/sfu/novell-sfdev2dev _______________________________________________ Pydev-users mailing list Pydev-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/pydev-users
