title: Recreating a project's "bin" folder in eclipse
body: <p>My Portable hard drive was damaged recently, on which I had my Eclipse workspace, but during the (expensive) recovery process, it was partially recovered. I have most of my source, but it happens that a project's bin file is empty. It was probably damaged.</p>
  
  <p>Now, I know that the bin file contains only .class files and I can probably regenerate them in a new project and move then to this bin. I may even be able to compile it via console and move it here, but since the project is big, <em>is there any way to tell eclipse to recompile the classes and put them in the bin?</em></p>
  
  <p>I already tried using Project > Clean. It doesn't seem to regenerate them.</p>
  
  <p>Additional info :</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>The bin is empty. I cant see even the empty package folders there.</li>
  <li>For one thing, I'm not sure if that is the problem at all. What I really get is an error saying "<em>Error: Could not find or load main class ut.rm.reader</em>". But I noticed that other projects having the .class files in the bin work fine. So I'm taking a good guess that this is the problem.</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance.</p>
