openhab errors when editing rules and items files

[Dan1001]

I'm running OH2.2 snapshot on Ubuntu 14.04. I usually use SublimeText as an editor, editing locally. When I use Visual Studio and the OH extension (also locally) I get errors when editing items and rules.

The rules errors look like this:

2017-08-30 14:04:43.325 [INFO ] [el.core.internal.ModelRepositoryImpl] - Refreshing model 'sonos.rules'
2017-08-30 14:04:43.326 [WARN ] [el.core.internal.ModelRepositoryImpl] - Configuration model 'sonos.rules' is either empty or cannot be parsed correctly!
2017-08-30 14:04:43.969 [INFO ] [el.core.internal.ModelRepositoryImpl] - Loading model 'sonos.rules'

The items errors like this:

2017-08-30 14:58:22.347 [INFO ] [el.core.internal.ModelRepositoryImpl] - Refreshing model 'sensors.items'
2017-08-30 14:58:22.353 [WARN ] [ore.common.registry.AbstractRegistry] - org.eclipse.smarthome.core.library.items.NumberItem with key 'CoffeePower' already exists! Failed to add a second with the same UID!
[and so on for each item]

then:

2017-08-30 14:58:22.571 [INFO ] [el.core.internal.ModelRepositoryImpl] - Refreshing model 'sensors.items'

I appreciate errors like this are not uncommon with Samba shares - but here I am editing locally.

I logged an issue with eclipse/smarthome - Kai suggested I also log it here.

thank you!

Seeing this eclipse-archived/smarthome#4161 (comment), I think we can close it here again as...
