Restore Deleted Files in Eclipse IDE

Question

Two days ago, I deleted five Java files in Eclipse IDE and now I need them. I tried to restore them from the local history. I restored only two of them. When I right click on

Answer 1

Go to Eclipse Menu Bar , and click Edit, and then click Undo Delete Resource. Each time you click "Undo Delete Resource" it brings back resources that have been deleted. I am not sure if you can recover deleted resources, if you try to recover after the machine has been restarted since you deleted your resource.

You don't wanna run into this several times, to be safe please always use version control like Git, SVN, Mercurial.

Answer 2

You can use the information in this Java Tips page.

I deleted my src folder, and used the following steps to get it back:

--> Select Project

--> Right Click

--> Select Restore from local history in the context menu

--> Select your files,

--> Click OK.

--> Then go to your git and do "git checkout filename"

--> This should fully restore the file and its content

I hope this helps

Answer 6

If you still have the binary form (.class), that is you only deleted the source code, then you can decompile then back to source.

Search on Google for some decompilers, for example Cavaj.
