When I try to create a new Java project in eclipse indigo on Windows 7 I get the following error with a JDK 1.6:
An error occurred while creating project. Check log for details.
Reason:
Problem while creating backup for 'project-desc'
The system cannot find the path specified.
Has anybody seen this or resolved it before?
Looking at the log file told me the same thing - eclipse thought a valid directory path was invalid.
It turns out my eclipse install was corrupted - on deleting it and replacing it with a new one everything worked fine.
