[Bluej-discuss] What are the limits of synchronisation between BlueJ and Netbeans BlueJ edition?

[Michael Kölling]

As discussed in the previous message, this would indicate that here,  
too, the crash files do not get deleted (even though the save was  
successful).

Check the file system, especially the access rights, to try to find  
out why. (Maybe you have backups switched on, but a backup file  
exists that cannot be overwritten?)
