Could not launch AUT using RCPTT

Question

I am trying to record from an eclipse based UI application but whenever I try to launch the AUT from RCPTT I get the following error

Could not launch the product because the associated workspace (aut-xxxxxxxx) is currently in use by another Eclipse Application

and keeps the Progress monitor running Untill I manually cancel the window.

I tried removing the .lock file from .metadata even then I am not able to launch the AUT from RCP Testing tool

Please provide a solution to overcome this issue

I am using RCP Testing Tool IDE Version: 2.4.0

Thanks in Advance.

Deleting the .lock file is the wrong approach. It is there because an RCP application is indeed using the workspace your app's launch config is pointing to.

-make sure the launch config's Workspace Data Location is pointing to a separate folder; it is not only '${workspace_loc}'

-make sure no other frozen or paused instances are locking the workspace. Check it in Debug view or even in your OS task manager
