30 Nov 08 How to Recover a Deleted File in Eclipse

I don't know how (yet) and I can't recreate it, but I swear that Eclipse ate two of my files while in the CFEclipse perspective. Neither of which I had placed under version-control yet. (DOH!) I was able to recover one of them from a nightly back-up.

When trying to figure out exactly what the heck happened, I took a peek at the local history for my back-up file and Eclipse still had the record of my changes up to the moment I lost the file!

Sooooo I re-created my lost file, right-clicked "Compare With" and "Local History" and I was able to re-cover the latest version of my file!

Phew!
