What I am showing used to be a working Mars workspace under Ubuntu 15.10. I have the following directory structure:

                                                          Home

Eclipse Workspaces                                                           Git Repositories

            Sabia - One workspace                                            Sabia - One repository

         Problems                                                                       AppFrame
                                                                                                 AppFrameDoc
                                                                                                 Devenv
                                                                                                 Html
                                                                                                 Logging
                                                                                                 Misc
                                                                                                 SabiaDoc


As you can see, the only project actually in the workspace is Problems; The rest are
completely contained in the Git repository workspace. As you can see from the Resource Perspective screen shot all the projects in the Git Repository are adorned
with a strange icon that I can find no explanation for and do not show any content associated with them. The one project in the Eclipse workspace does have content. As you can see from the Git Perspective screen shot, Egit has no problems with seeing the content in the repository workspace. This structure was working until I did something unknown which resulted in this.

I would like to understand the exact meaning of the strange icon and the conditions under which it is displayed so that I have some chance of figuring out what is wrong and repairing it.

I apologize for the appearance of the diagram. It looks fine in the editor.

Additional Information:
The projects all currently show as closed in the Package Explorer View. When I attempt to open the project, I am told that the .project file is missing. This file exists in the [b]Git Repositories/Sabia/AppFrame but not in the same relative location in the Eclipse Workspaces tree. I have tried the following without success:



    Copy the .project file to the Eclipse Workspaces.
    Install and use the ProjectLocationUpdater plugin to refresh the project location.


Here is a copy of one of the .project files:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<projectDescription>
	<name>AppFrame</name>
	<comment></comment>
	<projects>
	</projects>
	<buildSpec>
		<buildCommand>
			<name>org.python.pydev.PyDevBuilder</name>
			<arguments>
			</arguments>
		</buildCommand>
	</buildSpec>
	<natures>
		<nature>org.python.pydev.pythonNature</nature>
	</natures>
</projectDescription>



Any suggestions as to how I should proceed in diagnosing and/or repairing this issue?
