Eclipse, error: Couldn't write file "...." (permission denied)

I have a maven project on eclipse linked with a git repository. When I try to save files, eclipse tells me that it couldn't save the file because the permission is denied. I noticed that it happened after I remove some class from my project.

This is because according to your system, you are not the owner of the particular directory. If you are using ubuntu here is what you can do: Login as root user to do this, in terminal enter command

"sudo su"

provide your password. Then navigate till the directory and enter command

"chown -v user_name -R folder_name/"

This worked for me hope will do for you.
