Good Morning,
I was given flows to import for new project, i started to import using project interchange and they are kind of taking long and i have to hibernate the machine to catch the train. After i started my machine there were bunch of errors messages, later system hanged and i have to restart the laptop. I got bunch of delayed write failed errors and others that corrupted my workspace, i tried many ways and even system recover to get my PREVIOUS flows. After lot of attempts i am able to save the folders (flows) other than .metarepository folder.
Now that i only see folders of flows and missing metafolder, my flows are of no use and i am not able to import those files. Please help me how to fix this error. I have files from my previous project and other personnel ones. |

Can't you just reimport from project interchange?
Nominally, btw, a project interchange is just a zip file. |

Ah!
Well, if you have the workspace, but the .metadata folder is missing or damaged, you can Import the existing projects.
So File->Import, General->"existing Projects into workspace".
If the individual projects are damaged such that the .project flies are damaged, you can create new projects with the same names, and then import the files from the old project folders. |

Probably not helpful, but eclipse (...so broker toolkit...) has a in built revision history which is enabled by default (I think). You can normally right click on any file and go --> Replace With --> Local History .
Might help  |
