    Hi,
    I'm running eclispse under xp with parallells for mac. When attepting to save to disk settings changes for eclipse project(s) eg: '.classpath', '.project'. And even attempting to do a manual file/save with notepad on any file starting with '.' Fails with an 'access denied' message. I've checked security on each file and 'everyone' has full control selected. Is there some driver running to overide filessytem settings in this use case thinking its protecting an OSX file?

    Any help on this would be much appreciated. The files in eclipse to the best of my knowledge cannot be altered to an alternative.

    Regards

    Martin

    It seems it was simply an issue with the file(s) being hidden. Removing this has resolved it.
