Eclipse on Mac OS X – Workspace error on NFS mounts
If you are using Eclipse on Mac OS X and experience a “Workspace in use or cannot be created, choose a different one” after moving your workspace to a NFS share, try running eclipse with these arguments:
./eclipse -vmargs -Dosgi.locking=java.io
or you may add this line to your /Application/eclipse/Eclipse.app/Contents/MacOS/eclipse.ini file:
-Dosgi.locking=java.io

I confirm it also works when your worskpace is located on an AFP share, in my case on a Mac OSX Server.
Thanks a lot !

Was having same issue just now on freebsd.. i read suggestion elsewhere to mount with local locking ie nolockd (may be locallocks depending on implementation)
this seems to work too. However, I wonder if one way is better (less prone to failure/corrpution) than the other?
Wow ! Thanks for sharing ! Saves hours of searching and searching…
