Netbeans made project disapear? How to recover?

Question

I was working on a project, when netbeans freezed and closed abnormaly. When i reopend the project was missing, when i checked the netbeans workspace the folder was missing too.

Does netbeans keep a back-up for his projects? Is there any way to recover ?

Answer 1

Yes of course, hoping the freeze has not break the save system.

For file only it's easy :

• Right-click on your project/package

• Choose Local History -> Revert Deleted

Now if you have drop all the project you can do this (I've tried it has worked for me)

• Create a new project with the same name.
• Do the trick for files (2 first points)

If this trick doesn't work I fear you have no more Local History and will never get back your files...
