E505 - ReadOnly

[larret]

When I try to write file, I get E505 error saying that file is opened
in read-only mode. I force write by :w!, but I would like to turn off
this "read-only mode" by some default setting. Before I installed
eclim, I did never experience this issue (in ViM context).

OK. Simpler then I thought: "set noreadonly".

Problem persists. If I set noreadonly, functions related with tags
crashes (some error about not being able to change status of file) so
I need to get back to readonly turned on.

Right now when I change my file, and try to write it, I get read-only
warning. I fix any syntax errors, and try to write again. Again
readonly warning, so I force wrtiting by :w! . This of course doesn't
change status of file. It's still in read-only mode. How can I change
its statu back to writable?

Another question: Why after writing changes to let's say class1.php,
some temp file class1.php~ isn't deleted? It causes some mess in my
subversion catalog.

I'm not sure why writable files would be getting set to read only in
your environment. Does the problem still occur if you run vim with
the minimum settings (based on another email of yours, I'm assuming
you're on windows):

"C:\Program Files\Vim\vim72\gvim" -u NONE -U NONE
--cmd "set nocp | sy on | filetype plugin indent on | ru plugin/eclim.vim"

By default vim creates a backup file before overwriting the original
file with new contents. You can disable this feature by adding the
following to your vimrc:

set nobackup

Windows. Problem doesn't occure if I run ViM in minumum mode. Problem
also doesn't occure if I run ViM in normal mode and I
set :EclimDisable before write.

Also it seems, it isn't local problem. I installed today on fresh
installed Windows: ViM 7.2, Eclipse 3.5.2 and Eclim 1.5.6. It's
exactly the same problem. However - (on both instances) if I shutdown
eclimd deamon files are again writable.

Ok, I was able to track down and fix[1] the issue which only occurs on
Windows and only when saving php files.
