[eclipse-devel] when ~/.eclipse is already present as a directory

[david thompson]

With my first run of eclipse, eclipse discovered that ~/.eclipse
is a directory and ground to a halt with

couldn't read from #<SB-SYS:FD-STREAM for "file /.../.eclipse" {AF2B2E9}>:
  Is a directory

Maybe having eclipse gracefully switch gears -- e.g., something like
the change below (in INITIALIZE) --  would be desirable?

...
      ;; load personal configuration file, or the default one.
      (labels ((load-if (f)
		 (and (probe-file f)
		      ;; try to ensure  ~/.eclipse isn't a directory...
		      (not (probe-file (concatenate 'string f "/.")))
		      (load-config-file f))))
...
