Hi everyone,
Today, I was working with Eclipse, and I simultaneously updated my system. As I am using Debian Sid, I simply wrote :
# aptitude update && aptitude upgrade
several dozens of packages were updated, and Eclipse was one of them. Here is the corresponding content of the /var/log/aptitude file :
[UPDATED] eclipse:i386 3.7.2-1 -> 3.8.0~rc3-4
[UPDATED] eclipse-jdt:i386 3.7.2-1 -> 3.8.0~rc3-4
[UPDATED] eclipse-pde:i386 3.7.2-1 -> 3.8.0~rc3-4
[UPDATED] eclipse-platform:i386 3.7.2-1 -> 3.8.0~rc3-4
[UPDATED] eclipse-platform-data:i386 3.7.2-1 -> 3.8.0~rc3-4
[UPDATED] eclipse-rcp:i386 3.7.2-1 -> 3.8.0~rc3-4
In the changelog, I can read :
Quote:
eclipse (3.8.0~rc3-4) unstable; urgency=low
* Upload to unstable.
* Add upper bound on swt-gtk dependency.

So, I assumed that I should close Eclipse and launch it again for him to apply the changes. So, that's what I did. When I launched again Eclipse, I had a message like "please select a folder to save your workspace" (I was never asked such a question). So, I created a new folder in my ~ directory (/home/me), selected this one, clicked "OK".
After the Eclipse loading time, my workspace was gone. My .java files are still in my disk, but everything else seems to be gone : the Vrapper plugin is gone, the JRE I manually added in Eclipse do not appear any longer in the Preferences window, my Subversion plugin seems to be gone too, there is nothing in the Project Explorer...
I am working at an intern for a free software organisation, and when I started two weeks ago I spent like ten hours to properly install everything and make things work. I really hope that I will not have to do this again...
I someone could tell me that the information about my previous workspace are not gone forever and that I can simply use them again, he would be a life saver.
Thank you very much in advance...

It's really not a good idea to get Eclipse from anywhere but
eclipse.org. Modern Eclipse has a better system of updating than you're
going to get from a Linux distro. Very likely, you've succeeded in
back-rev'ing Eclipse unless you got it from the distro originally.
You may need to download and install a proper Eclipse, then import your
existing projects into (new) workspaces if you can't get the old
workspaces to function.
Best of luck.
