I had a java project in eclipse. I attempted to rename the project. The
rename process failed. The contents of that project are now gone. Would
someone PLEASE help me get my data back?
Why would ANY software delete files BEFORE copying them to the new
location????

Actually, to test this functionality, I imported a project, attempted to
rename the project (I made it fail the same as before), and then I tried
to do the "Restore From Local History...".
This feature isn't really going to help me much anyway. I've been redoing
the last month and a half of work for the past week already. It's easier
to remake than it is to invent from scratch.
The main point is, the "Rename" process should not be deleting files
before they are moved or copied over to the new name/location. This is a
very BAD thing to do. Solution: if you can't just rename the project
without removing the contents first, then create a NEW project by the NEW
name, move/copy the contents and then remove the old project. Safe,
sound, logical. If it fails for some reason in the middle, nothing is
lost. At the very worst files could be misplaced. That is A LOT easier
to recover from that GONE.

OK, I did a test to try to reproduce, but it behaved quite reasonably
and no files were lost. Here's a screencast:

Please tell us how this differs from what you did or observed. Also,
what version of Eclipse are you using?

You're welcome, but please share with the group which plugins you find
problems with, if/when you narrow it down.
