I had myEclipse open (linux pc) and was in a project. I had to shut down my system due to another problem. Now when I open myEclipse there are no projects displayed in the Package explorer or Navigator view.

I can see the projects in the Workspace folder.
I can check out a project from Subversion and it works fine and is also placed in the Workspace folder.

HELP. is there some setting I can check or reset so that all my projects display again?
thanks

Ann,
Sorry for the inconvenience. Can you clarify if MyEclipse opens to the correct workspace folder?
If yes, I would recommend you to switch to a new workspace and import your projects from your previous workspace folder. Select File > Import > General > Existing projects into workspace > Select Root Directory and browse to the projects in your previous workspace.
Let me know how that works for you.

yes it does open into the correct workspace. I will try opening up a new work space and doing the import tomorrow morning. Thanks for the quick reply and I will let you know how it goes.

Thanks
Ann
wait decided to go ahead and try it:
1. import – worked fine
2. deploy and make sure it can run – yes that worked fine too
3. subversion update – opps here is the problem – no link to my subversion repository. plus every folder has a .svn folder in it. So that makes this solution not usable for me.

Please let me know if you have any other ideas. I have about 20-25 projects (yeah too many, I know) and so far all I can think of is to recheck each one out from subversion. Then manually import each project from my workspace, compare and then remove the old one. HELP. thanks
Ann

Ann,
I shall escalate this issue to the dev team member. They will get back to you on this.

Just had this happen again to me. Appears to be a problem when a project is open and Eclipse is shut down. Do you have any suggests before i have to:
1.check out every project
2.import the project from the original workspace
3.do manual compare.

thank you,Ann

Ann Richmond,

Sorry that you ran into this issue with MyEclipse.

Can you answer some more questions for me ?

1) Can you tell me how you know that it is the right workspace ? I suggest using this technique to confirm the same :
Create a new java project and check the default location that is shown in that wizard. It should be <workspace folder>\project name. This will tell you what workspace you’re in.

2) If it is the wrong workspace, then use File > Switch Workspace to switch to your correct workspace.

3) If it is the correct workspace then please answer these questions :

a) Which version of MyEclipse and the Operating system are you working with?
b) I tried to replicate the issue on Windows XP by shutting down the system while MyEclipse is still running. I could not replicate the issue.Can you clarify if this is exactly how you did?
c) Can you also check the list of projects in the .metadata folder under .plugins\org.eclipse.core.resources\.projects if it shows all of your projects?

Let me know how it works for you.

[Ann Richmond]

my answers, thanks
1. I can tell it is the same workspace because when I try to check out a project under the same name, it tells me it already exists in the work space.
3a. eclipse – 8.5, operating system. ubuntu linux 10.4 64 bit
3.c do you mean Genuitec/Common/plugins/org.eclipse.core.runtime.compatibility.registry_3.2.200.v20090429-1800/ there is no .projects folder.

wait, think I was looking in the wrong place for the .projects folder.
Here is what I found:
/Workspaces/myWorkspace/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.resources/.projects = yup, shows all my projects. shows the ones I can’t see plus the 2 I checked out under new names on Friday.

Ann,

Thank you for the details.

We need to know how you shut your system down and the exact steps for us to replicate the issue at our end.I tried to replicate the issue on Windows XP by shutting down the system while MyEclipse is still running.Can you clarify if this is exactly how you did?
