Exclamation Point on Project Name Question

Post by seulater »

I have a curious question about Eclipse. I had a project that i right clicked on its name in the Project Explorer window and then selected Rename. After i renamed it, it changed the name but it now has an exclamation point to the left of the name. The project works fine, just curious about what is it trying to tell me.

Are you using a source code control system like Subversion? It could be telling you that files of the new name need to be put under source control. Also the exclamation icon gets used to let you know there are compiler warnings. Do a clean build on your project and check out the Console tab.

Yup, did a clean build and even refreshed the files.

This is one of those weird coincidences. I just tried it. I renamed my "Test" project to "NewTest" and sure enough the warning icon showed up. On another thread I had just answered a question about deleting invalid paths so after the rename I decided to go check out the paths. Sure enough there was a workspace path to the old path name /Test. Since it wasn't needed I just went in and deleted it and the warning icon went away. Then I renamed it back to "Test" and the warning icon came back. So I figured there would be a bogus path to /NewTest. There wasn't. However the mere fact of going in and "touching" all the directory path settings for C anc C++ for Debug and Release and then exiting the prefs dialog caused Eclipse to do something and a second or two after exiting the dialog the warning icon went away. Your mileage may vary but I'd be interested to hear back if it works.

also, after i did this the RUN icon no longer worked, i then went into run configurations and browes for the new project name, then selected the device IP and when i clicked on apply.
when i click on the run button after, i get this in the console window even when i make changes and re-compile.


**** Build of configuration Release for project SSL_Client ****

**** Internal Builder is used for build ****
Nothing to build for SSL_Client

Go to the project properties. Select the NetBurner Options and manually enter the IP Address there if it is missing. (I was able to replicate this problem and then fix it but I also did an alt-F5 Refresh on my test project during the process, but I don't think that is required).

the IP was there, and even tried the alt-f5, no go. I then went to NetBurner Options and then checked Reload Selected platforms properties files, hit apply then tried downloading it.
It worked! and got rid of the exclamation point on the project as well.

Thanks for the collaboration and help in solving the mystery.
