I have been creating a large Eclipse C++ project (13 .cpp files and 17 .h files, all less than 70 KB) for about four months. It is on Fedora Linux running under VMWare.
About a month ago, my computer froze and I was ultimately forced to pull the plug and re-boot with everything open. I am not sure if there is a causal relationship, but later that day, when I went into the project, for every open file, the editor showed an icon of white minus sign in a red circle and the words, "Could not open the editor. The file does not exist." The project was also conspicuously absent from the Project Explorer pane on the left. When I went into Project -> Properties, the Location showed "resource does not exist." All of my other projects, most of which had been earlier small warm-up exercises, continued to work fine. After some Googling for an explanation, I was forced to re-create the project. Then, the same thing happened again a week later, without me "pulling the plug" on the PC. Then this started happening every few days, and now it happens every second or third time I exit and re-enter Eclipse. I created a new VMWare virtual and re-installed Eclipse, bringing over only my source code files, but it didn't help. What is happening? Why is it happening? If it continues, soon I will have to move to a different IDE. I am getting faster at re-building the project, but still expending time and frustration on this. Has anyone seen this behavior before?
Thanks.
Brandon

Maybe first try talking to the C/C++ folks on the Eclipse CDT forum.
