title: How to recover corrupted Eclipse workspace?
body: <p>I just managed to corrupt contents of my Eclipse .metadata directory. Starting up with eclipse -clean did not work out. Deleting .metadata and then importing all projects, plugins and setting does not sound too interesting. I ended up moving .metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.resources/ elsewhere and reimporting my projects only.</p>
  
  <p>Are there any tools or best practices to recover workspace?</p>
