there is a bug that prevent this from working when your projects has path with spaces in it.

ok, ive changed the workspace to a path without spaces and it works. thanks.

Is this issue being tracked in JIRA somewhere? Is it assigned to be fixed? I just ran into this issue with JBoss Tools 3.1 M4 and unfortunately I cannot remove the space from the project name without violating corporate standards.

Iron (space) Duck:

If on linux or mac, try symlinking the actual folder to a renamed one w/o spaces, then delete the project from the workspace (but do not delete) and File > Import > existing project to the spaceless project.

If on windows (or you don't like symlinks), remove the project from your workspace (but do not delete). Then edit the .project file to change the name to something w/o spaces. File > Import > existing project to the spaceless project.

Can I see a copy of your corporate standards which states "Eclipse Workspace Projects Must Have Spaces In Their Names" ? Sounds like something that BOFHs the world over would love to have written.

Oh, and FYI, I believe this is an Eclipse bug, not a JBoss Tools one. Maybe this will finally be fixed in Eclipse 4.0 (e4).
