My .project file disappeared [message #62389] Thu, 19 June 2003 23:04 Go to next message

Eclipse (2.1) crashed while trying to recompile a big project. When I
restarted it, the project was closed. I tried to open it but I got an
error saying that the ".project file is missing. This file contains
important information and is needed to open this project...".

Is there a copy of this file somewhere? I would really hate it if I had
to recreate this project from scratch...

Thanks.

The important file is the .classpath file. If you create a new project in
the same location as the old project, Eclipse will use the existing
..classpath file. Save the .classpath file to be safe.

Did you try to restore it from local history ?
