I have an Ubuntu VM running Mars.1. I had a bunch of projects referring to external folders (which are actually on a shared folder pointed to the host). This was working fine.
This morning I installed some ubuntu updates. This happens quite often.
After the update, I noticed that the IP of my guest had changed. That isn't a problem by itself, I just had to change a connection parameter on the host to deal with that.
The big problem is that now the Eclipse on the VM/guest doesn't see any of its projects.
In the .log I see a couple kinds of errors. Some of them are "Cannot determine URI for ...", specifying the project and file path for files I previously had open in the editor view.
There were also some of the following stacktrace:
java.lang.NullPointerException
at org.eclipse.ui.internal.WorkbenchPage$E4PartListener.partDeactivated(WorkbenchPage.java:219)
at org.eclipse.e4.ui.internal.workbench.PartServiceImpl$4.run(PartServiceImpl.java:261)
But I have a feeilng those were just happening because the editor couldn't display the files that were previously displayed.
I noticed the file "workspace/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.resources/.projects/<projectname>/.location". This is a binary formatted file, but when I just catted it out I saw that it had a "file:" URL for the project location. I verified that that file location is still valid and reachable.
Fortunately, all of the projects in this workspace refer to external project locations, but it will still be a pain to reimport the projects and reset some settings. What's worse is that I have no idea what caused this, or whether something I did will make it happen again.
What other information would be useful? What can I do to recover this workspace?
Update:
Following this is the full trace for one of the "Cannot determine URI for ..." errors.
org.eclipse.core.runtime.CoreException: Cannot determine URI for '/com.cisco.yangide.editor/src/com/cisco/yangide/editor/editors/YangAutoIndentStrategy.java'.
