Version earlier to 0.3.12 doesn't work at all.

Eclipse: 3.2M4 (Milestone build)
All version of EPIC doesn't work. I've tried old stable 0.3.0 release but
also tried 0.3.11 and 0.3.12, and in the end I was forced to downgrade to
last official release of Eclipse 3.1.1

Any help would be great (I'm now using Eclipse 3.1.1)

Report the 3.1.1 one as bug. Due to sloppy exception handling in org.epic.core.util.
FileUtilities it's hard to identify the fault.

It is not clear from your description (the "Opening file attached to Perl
Project" part) whether the error occurs only when trying to open a linked
external file or any Perl file, including ones in Perl projects located
in the workspace.

Hello!
Thanks for answer :-)

Such error occurs only when opening external Perl file (via File->Open File...).


Such procedure works without error:
1. Create a new empty Perl project
2. Add an empty Perl file to it
3. Write it's content (or copy-paste it from external file). Save
4. Close and reopen Eclipse (not needed)
5. Open file via double-click on file, in Perl project located in workspace
(shown in Package Explorer)

I have this error too after I've updated to 3.2M4 (I needed that to have
recent XUL plugin). Error occurs on opening perl files that are parts of
my existing perl projects (files with .pl extension). That's annoying.
