Eek! All my property pages have gone! [message #98037] Wed, 23 July 2003 06:39 Go to next message
Eclipse UserFriend
I'm using Eclipse 2.1.1 on Windows XP Pro, with Java 1.4.2. Just today,
I've found that I can no longer right-click on *anything* and get a
property page up. Before closing and reopening my project,
"Properties" didn't appear on the context menu. Having closed and
reopened, it now appears but when I select it I get "No property pages
for <whatever I've selected>".

I have two Eclipse workspaces, and one of them is fine. In the "dodgy"
one, I've got one project that won't even open any more, complaining
that the .project file is missing.

Any hints as to what might have gone wrong and what I can do to get
back to working functionality? Obviously this is pretty important to
me...

A few more details I meant to put in:

o Creating a new project doesn't get me property pages either
o There's nothing obviously wrong in the workspace log file

Fixed that now - I'd removed the project's directory in a clean-up,
without removing the project itself. Still no property pages though...

.... and now no searching, either. Clearly my workspace is pooched
somehow. I'd rather not throw away all the projects though - they've
taken a while to set up. Any suggestions as to which bits of the
workspace metadata it's safe to purge, and which I should leave alone?

I decided to take matters into my own hands and investigate, partly
because preferences weren't coming up either. I deleted the .registry
file (after closing eclipse) and everything is now fine.

I have a copy of the old (corrupt?) .registry file if anyone's
interested.

I've met the very same problem once a couple of weeks ago. I ended up
committing my work manually to cvs, dumping my workspace, grabbing a new
integration build and reconfiguring Eclipse (it took about 10 mins, not
much more). Since then I haven't run into this issue, so it's probably
already fixed.

If you guys ever experience some workspace corruption again, you might
want to give this plug-in a try:

http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/%7Echeckout%7E/plat form-core-home/downloads/tools/readme_restorer_1.0.0.html

I've never had to use it myself, but theoretically it's supposed to
restore your workspace as best it can.

Please enter a bug report in bugzilla. You can attached the zipped
registry. Please also include the Eclipse build number (from Help>About).
