Hello everyone, 

Please read below the steps to reproduce:

System: 
OS: windows 7 SP1 64 bit Ultimate 
memory: 8GB 
CPU: Core i7-2600K

// install Dokan (latest as of now)
// install encfs4win (latest as of now)
// download and unpack zipped version of the latest eclipse 4.2 for c++ developers

1. create a folder via the GUI included with encfs in paranoid mode and inside my Dropbox folder

2. open the encrypted folder and mapped it to local drive G 

3. Start Eclipse 4.2 (Juno) version for C++ Developers

4. create a workspace in the root of an encrypted folder

5. creation and saving of you workspace should produce an error. This is what pops up when saving and exiting eclipse:
---quote---
Problems saving workspace:
Problems occurred while trying to save the state of the workbench.
  Could not save master table to file 'G:\workspace\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.core.resources\.safetable\org.eclipse.core.resources'.
  The parameter is incorrect
---end quote---

alternatively, I shared the local entry point (drive G) to the network and accessed it via network... 
this time creating of workspace went fine, but closing and saving of the workspace again gave me an error. When I try to open that workspace, here's what I see:

---
Unable to restore working set state.
Premature end of file.
Premature end of file.
---

Can anyone confirm the issue ?

I have the same issue. The file itself is not readonly, but all encfs folders are "Read-only (Only applies to files)". The encrypted version is under Users\<Username>, which might cause the readonly-ness, but if Eclipse blithely believes the folder is read-only, it might explain this.

What does the encfs log reports (you have to enable it passing proper options).

Which option enables debugging? The encfs4win page is a bit sketchy on the details...

Is it possible to pass options via the tray applet? Or does it start encfs with some standard set of options?

You are right! I added a debugging section to
