Hi,

I am trying to work on Thigworx 6.6 Eclipse Plugin .Installation went through successfully. During creation of new project I get an error saying

"An exception was encountered while preparing  the project".On clicking OK the project gets created but the folder structure has 2 empty folders (src and config files). metadata.xml, build-extension.xml are all missing.

Below is the screen shot of the error.

Priya

What do you see in the error log?

The Error  log  doesn't show anything much. Just the same info. Below is the error log screen shot

If you double click on that line in the error log, there should be a more detailed view of the error that pops up as a wizard.  It will hopefully show us a stack trace.  Can you try that and post a screenshot? 

Also, a couple of general debugging questions - What is the location on disk of your Eclipse install and Workspace? And can you send a screenshot of the information you filled out in the New Extension Project wizard? This can be helpful to narrow down the causal scenarios.

Okay, I'm not exactly sure about the exception. But try running eclipse from a different location, because if you've spaces in the directory names (like 'My Workspace') it might throw the exception.
