I’m somewhat embarrassed to ask this question but I have a project that I’ve been working on for several days. I left ME open and someone in the house closed all the ME windows. How do I find my project and reload it? Do I import it or open a file? What’s the structure of the project or file I should be looking for?

Thank you

Robert,

Can’t you simply start MyEclipse again? MyEclipse will start with its last used workspace which should contain your project or a reference to the project, if you created it in a non standard location.

I’m assuming, for some reason, you cannot do this (do let me know why or what happens when you do). You could look for a .project file on your file system (yes, there is no name, just an extension, so be sure to include the leading period) and I would suggest perhaps recursively scanning your home directory first. Once you locate this file, when you start MyEclipse you can use the “import existing project” wizard to point to this directory and import the project – though, as I mentioned earlier, MyEclipse should already have the project present.

Brian,

Thanks for the prompt reply. I did try to import the project but it shows a caution indicating the project may already be active. Issue is I can’t see the project. Perhaps this is a simple navigation issue that I can’t seem to display it and the associated tools. It’s a phone gap mobile project that I imported previously from MobiOne. I’ve tried to find the option to open the project file explorer to no avail… Further thoughts?

Robert,

This error usually occurs when your current workspace contains a project of a given name physically (i.e. the project folder exists within the workspace directory) but the workspace does not reference it, so it doesn’t show up in the explorer views. When you try to import another project of the [b]same[/b] name from a location outside the workspace, the import would fail.

1) What is your workspace location? Is it c:\MyEclipseProjects ?
2) Where are you trying to look for your project, within the workspace? Can you check the MyEclipse Explorer, Project Explorer and Navigator views? Could you send me a screenshot of any of these?

Brian,

I found the option to display ME Explorer and there it was! Still getting familiar with navigating ME..

Thanks again for your assistance.
