Eclipse won't move project. .metadata/.lock is locked

In Eclipse, if you want to reorganize your filesystem, you cannot just move your Eclipse project's files on the filesystem. Instead you right-click your project in Package Explorer -> Refactor -> Move, and select the new path (which I learned from stackoverflow).

 

However upon attempting this move with the Minecraft Forge Eclipse workspace, I get a "Move Problems" error dialogue with the error message

 

Could not move /MDKExample

Could not move C:\Users\user\forge-1.8.11.14-mdk

Could not read from source when writing file C:\Users\user\forge-1.8.11.14-mdk\eclipse\.metadata\.lock

The process cannot access the file because another process has locked a portion of the file

 

After clicking through the dialogue, the source and destination of the moves are both left in an unusable state due to the half-completed move of files. Downloading fresh copy and rebuilding the Eclipse workspace with gradlew setupDecompWorkspace && gradlew eclipse, the move fails every time. And I tried with several different versions of Forge. What is the secret to moving a project's location in the filesystem in Eclipse?

 

Windows Process Explorer shows that the only process with this file handle is eclipse itself, and after exiting Eclipse I am able to move the .metadata\.lock file (but not before). Why is Eclipse itself blocking the .lock file for a move? I tried creating a new blank Java project with a single Java class, and Eclipse moved it just fine, so is this problem something particular to Forge?

 

I'm using Eclipse Mars.1 (4.5.1) on Windows 10 with Java 8.

      OpenAL.dll issue (causing crash)

      By bkbenji · Posted

      Is there a fix for this issue? I have tried reinstalling OpenAL.dll, switching Java versions, and even muting my game when it launched, but all of these attempts have resulted in my game crashing nonetheless. I have been dealing with this issue for approximately a week straight. I have not changed any sound settings, so I am very confused. Full Code: https://gnomebot.dev/paste/mclogs/beEBzpm "4/16/2025 12:16:30 AM 1000 Error Faulting application name: javaw.exe, version: **.**.**.**, time stamp: 23 0xd75c3041 24 Faulting module name: OpenAL.dll, version: **.**.**.**, time stamp: 0x647635a125 Exception code: 0xc0000409 26 Fault offset: 0x00000000000a2b05 27 Faulting process id: 0x10A0 28 Faulting application start time: 0x1DBAE81D04A6F2F 29 Faulting application path: C:\Users\********\curseforge\minecraft\Install\java30 \java-runtime-delta\bin\javaw.exe 31 Faulting module path: C:\Users\********\curseforge\minecraft\Install\natives\n32 eoforge-21.1.148\OpenAL.dll 33 Report Id: 28552180-f359-40cc-adeb-08dada7e99d8 34 Faulting package full name: 35 Faulting package-relative application ID:" Any sort of insight would be greatly appreciated, it's giving me a headache.

      I can't get this modpack running.

      By Calcifer · Posted

      I'm new to this, if that wasn't obvious. My friend and I are trying to make a modpack for 1.19.2. I've made a modpack previously with 0 issues before and many of the same mods. However, I can't seem to find the issue when trying to load up his new modpack.   Any help would be greatly appreciated.

      Okay, for him the config file looked like this: flywheel-client.toml: #Select the backend to use. Set to "DEFAULT" to let Flywheel decide. backend = "DEFAULT" #Enable or disable instance update limiting with distance. limitUpdates = true #The number of worker threads to use. Set to -1 to let Flywheel decide. Set to 0 to disable parallelism. Requires a game restart to take effect. #Range: -1 ~ 12 workerThreads = -1 #Config options for Flywheel's built-in backends. [flw_backends]     #How smooth Flywheel's shader-based lighting should be. May have a large performance impact.     #Allowed Values: FLAT, TRI_LINEAR, SMOOTH, SMOOTH_INNER_FACE_CORRECTED     lightSmoothness = "SMOOTH" There was no "INSTANCING", so we changed "DEFAULT" to "OFF", but this didn't help. Changing it to "INSTANCING" didn't work as well.
