Hi guys,

i m gettin an exception

-> java.lang.IllegalStateException: Workspace is closed.

when i m trying to get the workspace using

-> IWorkspace workspace = ResourcesPlugin.getWorkspace();

i m writing a wizard which generates a project on the click of Finish button. And I have the code in the performFinish.

m i missing anything.. ?? the wizard exits after the exception.

any help is appreciated.

thx,
anu.

Anu,
If the problem persists after restarting your machine, it may be a corrupt workspace. Do you get the error if you create a new workspace?

Hi Jeanne and Others,

Actually i resolved the problem goin thru some eclipse forum where they mentioned to include the org.eclipse.core.resources library in the dependencies of the plugin instead of the Project -> Properties -> Build Path.

And it didn't threw the exception again.

Cheers,
Anu.

Anu,
Thanks for sharing the solution with us.

Does it mean that it is only possible to access the ResourcesPlugin through a Plug-in project and not through a Java Project?

I am getting the same exception currently. I am developing a Java application and trying to access another project in my workspace using

IWorkspaceRoot currentWorkspaceRoot = ResourcesPlugin.getWorkspace().getRoot();

Is there an alternative to this solution?
