INTERNAL ERROR: Global root folder for pre-installed component archives

[christof_kohler]

Hello,

I want to import a development configuration with SAP Dev. Studio but I get an <b>"INTERNAL ERROR: Global root folder for pre-installed component archives not defined.</b>" The installation should be okay, because the system was running well until yesterday morning.

but I get the following error:

java.lang.IllegalStateException: INTERNAL ERROR: Global root folder for pre-installed component archives not defined.

maybe this is related to some file syncronisation problem that I had.

Which folder is the mentioned "Global root folder... "????

Some other people already faced the same problem in other threads, but none of the proposed solutions could help me so far.

Greetings

Hey,

copying the eclipse plugins from another installation couldn't solve the problem.

I deinstalled the Dev. Studio, afterwards you should delete the folder program files/SAP/JDT/.

Than I reinstalled the Dev. Studio. now everything works fine again....

Kind Regards
