Recovering lost files in Eclipse
March 1st, 2009 | Published in tip
If you find yourself working Eclipse and a file you’re working on gets deleted inadvertently there may be some hope of recovery.
Right-click on the project the file was in and select Restore from Local History. You’ll be presented with a dialog that lists recent file revisions in the project and be given an option to restore them.
Thanks to Stephen for the tip. And yes, I probably do owe him brownies by now. 
Note: I scheduled this post on Feb 2 but apparently it never went live. So Stephen did get brownies at one point.
