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...

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.
