Can someone please explain what is going on?

Accepted Answer

It is strange that the version number of the original project is '0'. It seems that the file ch.ivyteam.ivy.designer.prefs does not contain the correct information about the project version. You can find the mentioned file in the root directory of your project in the .settings folder. It should look similar like the following one:

ch.ivyteam.ivy.designer.preferences.DataClassPreferencePage\:DEFAULT_DATA_CLASS=my.call.ws.project.Data
ch.ivyteam.ivy.designer.preferences.DataClassPreferencePage\:DEFAULT_NAMESPACE=my.call.ws.project
ch.ivyteam.ivy.project.preferences\:PROJECT_VERSION=51917
eclipse.preferences.version=1

The relevant part is the third line where the project version is defined. If there is '0' or something other strange, you should replace this with the correct version which belongs to the designer where you worked on the project before. To find out which one this was, just create a new project in the old designer and get the version number from its ch.ivyteam.ivy.designer.prefs file.
