I’ve had a disk crash which corrupted most things including the ‘workspace’ folder. My main active project was using a different folder (e.g. ‘C:\WIP\PROJECT1’).

After re-installing MyElcipse, how can I recreate the project in this ‘C:\WIP\PROJECT1’ folder?

Hi davout,
Incase your workspace is corrupted, you can try using the -clean comman to clean it. You can set your workspace to ‘C:\WIP\PROJECT1’ and then use the -clean command to start MyEclipse.

I’ve tried your suggestion and nothing seems to have happened.

What’s missing is that I have no ‘projects’ visible in the package or hierarchy views. As Eclipse doesn’t seem to have a project file type and I can’t find any ‘File/Open project’ menu item I can’t find out if the project file is still around.

What next?

Can you see the project in windows explorer if you browse to your workspace (‘C:\WIP\PROJECT1’) where you had created the project? If it exists there and you want to see it in your package explorer, you will have to import the project by going to File > Import > General > Existing Projects into WorkSpace , hit next and enter your existing project name and finally click finish.

Under this folder I have the following files…

.metadata (folder)
.myeclipse (folder)
.mysettings (folder)
.src (folder)
.Webroot (folder)
.classpath (file)
.myhibernatedata (file)
.mymetadata (file)
.mystrutsdata (file)
.myumldata (file)
.project (file)
.SpringBeans (file)
hibernate.reveng.sql (file)

The files look all messed up to me. You should not have the dot (.) preceding their names. I guess the best thing you can do now is create a new project and transfer code from these old files *if* you can open them
