Eclipse: can't save file - 'negative time' error

eclipse

Solution

Don't know if you solved your problem, but putting an answer here in case someone else stumbles onto this.

I see a similar sounding problem here.

Seems like the file you want to save has a bad timestamp. Try touching the file with another editor to update the timestamp, then see if it will work in Eclipse.

Problem

When I save a file in Eclipse, it throws an error: "save all failed - negative time". Can anyone help?
