Upon completing a great deal of work last night and running the program (seeing as how it saves after each compile/run), I had exited Eclipse, but did not exit Linux. Opening up the same program, I had discovered that all of my work had disappeared, and the program had reverted to the state it was before I had worked on it at all. All of the work was done in one session.

Reproducible: Couldn't Reproduce

You may want to backup your workspace's .metadata folder.

Try to restore your folders and files from the local history that is stored within Eclipse.

Please feel free to reopen the bug when you have more information.

Perhaps the saves were not actually working correctly because you had run out of disk space?
