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.

      Special Armour Properties

      By DroidCrafter23 · Posted

      I am wanting to give the armour in my mod special properties, but I have no idea how to do so.   For the first armour set I want it to be the case that when the full set is worn it has the properties of a carved pumpkin, making it so you won't aggravate endermen when you look at them.    The second, and presumably harder property is that for the second set I would like it to be the case that when the full set is worn, you can walk over the void without falling. (I was considering using the levitation to accomplish this but I wanted to check beforehand).   Would both of these specialities be achievable for each armour set and how exactly would they both be done? Help would be much appreciated.

      Forge Server running fine for 20-30 minutes, then server freezes and disconnects all players but not crashed

      By Dwolfwood · Posted

      I finally got my Forge server up and running thanks to the help of the people on this forum and played fine for a day. Now since I started playing today, the server runs for 20-30 minutes then freezes and kicks everyone out but stays up and running but won't let anyone connect. Here is the latest debug log and crashlog from the server. Thank you for reading & helping   https://gist.github.com/Dwolfwoood/d0410e581c86772694f1d8007431c409   https://gist.github.com/Dwolfwoood/b5d521fd071dbfcc816949924757fef9

      one of my mods is a mislabeled version but I have no way of telling which one

      By seaberry · Posted

      I got the infamous crash log that you get when you have a mod or multiple mods that are incompatible with the version being used. however.. I have no idea which ones are wrong. I was hoping the forums could help me figure it out. does the crsh report tell me and im just dumb?
