Tail your eclipse log

Sometimes Eclipse gives you funny errors that you have no chance of resolving because they're so generic.



In cases like these, it's useful to check the eclipse log for errors.

Contains: Cannot move a folder to a location that is not managed by SVN. Try Team -> Copy followed by Delete.
!SUBENTRY 2 org.eclipse.core.resources 4 4 2009-07-01 16:09:14.361
!MESSAGE Problems encountered while moving resources.
!SUBENTRY 3 org.tigris.subversion.subclipse.core 4 -6 2009-07-01 16:09:14.361
!MESSAGE Cannot move a folder to a location that is not managed by SVN. Try Team -> Copy followed by Delete.


I have a tail command aliased to allow me to quickly do this.
