Eclipse .jazzlock save could not be completed

Question

Eclipse loaded fine and was able to make any changes I could, but suddenly When I try to make change and save a file I get the following error:

Save could not be completed. try file > Save as... if the problem persists

Reason:
Unable to lock file c:\workspace\ws\.jazz5\.jazzlock

Answer 1

Delete the >jazzlock file in from your home workspace folder and restart your eclipse. It worked for me!

Answer 2

I've run into this when Eclipse hasn't closed cleanly. It can leave a process still running. Close all instances of Eclipse then look for extra's still running in Task Manager/Processes and stop them.
