[Sam]

Hello there i have been trying to figure this out for the past three hours. I shutdown my eclipse yesterday. I had two instances open with two different workspaces and was in a hurry so shut them down at the same exact time. Last night i did a chkdsk and that lead to fixing of a lot of so called errors.

Today as usual I fired my eclipse and tada no projects, all the files couldn’t be found.
I looked in the logs and that was the error in .metadata\.log
java.io.FileNotFoundException: C:\Users\sgabriel\AppData\Local\Genuitec\MyEclipse\configuration\org.eclipse.osgi\bundles\417\data\listener_1925729951\artifacts.xml (The system cannot find the file specified)

Since then I have been trying everything that is possible in that order and always get that error and no projects
1. I created a new workspace, even on a blank one I get this message.
2. Reinstalled using Pulse and still getting an error message.in new and old workspace
3. Reinstalled to a different directory for My Eclipse.
4. renamed the My Eclipse director and the Common directory then reinstalled from a file downloaded on Sept 19th. This time none of the My Eclipse features are present.

Here is the installation details:

Please help …… I can’t work

Sam,

Good news, unless you had a massive disk failure and CHKDSK was wiping out file links left and right, there is *no way* your workspace contents got erased off disk by MyEclipse. So it’s likely just an issue of a crapped out workspace cache OR more likely, just pointing at the wrong dir.

First things first, open Windows Explorer (or whatever file manager you use) and navigate to your workspace directly on disk, go inside of it and confirm that all your projects are there. If you do NOT see them, there’s a very likely chance you had a disk failure and files were corrupted on your disk.

Alternatively, triple-check that you have the right path for the Workspace, sometimes folks will create a workspace in a custom location, like C:\Dev\Workspace, but forget that when starting up MyEclipse which maybe present them with the default, which is <USER.HOME>\Workspaces and then get really nervous when the workspace comes up empty.

IF your projects are all there in the workspace, and still don’t show up in the IDE, try and use File > Import > Existing Project > Select “Root” directory, select the workspace dir, and hit OK. That should cause it to reload all the projects from the disk back into the workspace cache.
