The project was not built due to "An error occurred while traversing resources."

[Pranav Thipse]

extracted Eclipse helios 3.6.2 for windows
then added plugins from following links for project Dependency

for hibernate
http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/stable

for GWT
http://dl.google.com/eclipse/plugin/3.6


for WindowBuilder
http://dl.google.com/eclipse/inst/d2wbpro/latest/3.6




I am actually Trying to create a Project from my Existing Source but Eclipse IDE is giving Following error

The project was not built due to "An error occurred while traversing resources.". Fix the problem, then try refreshing this project and building it since it may be inconsistent

and Following was the dump in workspace log file of eclipse

Please Give Some inputs how to get rid of this error

Thanks in advance

[Peter Johnson]

Here is what I would do: I'd start with a fresh install of Eclipse and try to import the project. If that doesn't work, the issues is with one of the files in the projects (based on the error messages, I'd look at the timestamps on the files). If that works, I would add in the plugins one at a time, each time starting with a new workspace and recreating the project. That should at least tell you which plugin is causing the problem.

As per my knowledge

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Negative time
at java.io.File.setLastModified(Unknown Source)

You should read this.

In that example & answer with photos like jpg/bmp etc, you can try with your files...

or
Read this.

may be i wrong...
You may follow this for asking/elaborate your question...
