Eclipse Plugin export fails

Hi,
A few weeks ago I changed my os from vista 32-bit to win 7 64-bit. I
copied my whole eclipse directory and restored it to the freshly
installed computer. With development everything works fine. But when I
try to export the plugin I always get an error message like this:

Problems during export
D:\workspaces\workspace_springdm_divsdd\.metadata\ .plugins
\org.eclipse.pde.core\temp\org.eclipse.pde.contain er.feature\build.xml:
34: The following error occurred while executing this line:
D:\workspaces\workspace_springdm_divsdd\.metadata\ .plugins
\org.eclipse.pde.core\temp\org.eclipse.pde.contain er.feature\build.xml:
10: The following error occurred while executing this line:
D:\workspaces\workspace_springdm_divsdd\divsdd.spr ingdm\build.xml:222:
The following error occurred while executing this line:
D:\workspaces\workspace_springdm_divsdd\divsdd.spr ingdm\build.xml:157:
IO error scanning directory 'C:\Config.Msi'

Running eclipse with admin rights pushed me over the config.msi
directory, but the next issue with the identical error message was
with the directory "c:\documents and settings" which exists only as
link in win7.

I tried to set up a complete fresh product configuration, but the same
error occurred.

Anyone got a clue, what is happening there? I even don't understand
what eclipse is scanning during the build in these directories, anyone
who knows something about that? What is going on in the
'internals'????

Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Dagmar

Hi,
the problem was not dependent from os or so, it was just a mistake in the build configuration. I had the following lines in my build.properties:

Code:

source.. = src/,\
           ****-INF/spring/

and eclipse showed me a warning there. Quick fix changed this to:

Code:

source.. = src/,\
           ****-INF/spring/,\
           /

and this caused the build to copy the entire volume, which comes clear, if you take a closer look to the added line! So: Silly mistake, but costs me a lot of time searching. Be careful with quick fix.....
