Rob Stryker resolved JBIDE-3305.
--------------------------------

    Resolution: Done


Since we don't know what the error is, we'll focus this issue on making the messaging more clear.

What more information would you like to see?  

The current method is as follows:

	public static boolean createFile(final IArchiveNode node, boolean sync) {
		File f = getFile(node);
		boolean b = false;
		if( f != null ) {
			b = f.mkdirs();
		}
		if( sync )
			TrueZipUtil.sync();
		return b;
	}

It just returns whether the output folders were made or not.  java.io.File does not go throwing all sorts of things when folders / files can't be created. So all I have to go by is that the file was not created.  Once my code gets the 'false', I log it as an error. 

I'm committing a fix that will at least designate which file is unable to be created. Hopefully that will help. Feel free to re-open if you have more thoughts.

> I'm building a fairly large project archive, ~30MB compressed containing about 17.000 classes and 
> first time I tried building the jar, I got an error like this:
> eclipse.buildId=M20080911-1700
> java.version=1.6.0_0
> java.vendor=Sun Microsystems Inc.
> BootLoader constants: OS=linux, ARCH=x86, WS=gtk, NL=en_US
> Command-line arguments:  -os linux -ws gtk -arch x86
> Error

> Error creating output file for node rt.jar
> But it says nothing about the error itself! This needs to be improved.
> 2nd time I build the jar, it didn't give me any errors.
