Why does it say "Operation Not Supported When Attempted To Save Java Source in Eclipse IDE?
I just implemented a directory watcher and everytime I attempt to save FileListener.java or run the program, i get the following message:
Save could not be completed.
Reason:
Operation not supported for specified element types(s):FileListener.java
I don't understand it because FileListener is an interface and all i'm doing is specifying which methods a class must implement when implementing the interface.
Help please.

package com.goodiesdirect.gnfilemonitor;
import java.io.File;
public interface FileListener {
void fileChanged(File file);
void newFile(File file);
}Help please.

what's the dir eqivalent because i'm running windows, not linux.
Ah. The error message is showing Unix paths
Just make sure the directory is still writable

It's writable because i can save the other 3 files that are part of the same package... just not that one java source file.

I'm not a hundred percent sure. I thought about a process could have a lock on the file and although I wasn't sure what would have a lock on the file, I decided to reboot and see if the problem was resolved. Upon rebooting, the problem was gone and I figured well, it's a possibility that it was a file lock and decided to give you credit. An older instance of my java application may have been running and I may not have realized it. In any event, it's working now and thank you very much for your help. :)
Yes, probably a file lock
