My PC shut down unexpected after running a project on eclipse (the project saved before that happen.) after reboot and opening eclipse one of the classes content completely wiped out ( it had more that 3000 lines :( ).

how can I retrieve the content?

Eclipse: Version: Neon.2 Release (4.6.2) Build id: 20161208-0600

    This is why you should use version control like Git and make commits often. – victor Apr 21 '17 at 18:39
  • Possible recovery methods most likely OS and filesystem specific. In other words, this is not really an Eclipse question. – Kevin Krumwiede Apr 21 '17 at 18:40
  • @azurefrog So this is something Eclipse is known for? O_o Glad I ditched it for so many reasons. Too bad it will be another twenty years before professors stop making their students use it. – Kevin Krumwiede Apr 21 '17 at 18:42
  • I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because it's about Eclipse, not about programming. – Laf Apr 21 '17 at 18:45

    @Laf But eclipse questions *do* "directly involve tools used primarily for programming." and are therefore not off-topic as questions about "general computing hardware or software". – azurefrog Apr 21 '17 at 18:50
  • @KevinKrumwiede I wouldn't say it's "known for" it. I've been using eclipse for well over a decade and never had anything like this happen. – azurefrog Apr 21 '17 at 18:52
  • I have git but I pushed my code 3 days ago and worked over time to meet deadline on today. then that happen. I used the git for retrieve the file but I cannot meet dead line and 3 days hard working gone :(( it is defiantly Eclipse problem, why it clean entire file while it was saved before!!! – Hans Pour Apr 21 '17 at 18:57
  • @azurefrog True, I had forgotten this part. fortunately it was closed as a duplicate of a question which seems to answer his question (I hope), so no harm done with my vote. I'll keep that in mind ;) – Laf Apr 21 '17 at 19:24
