Eclipse and Windows 7

I have reinstalled my computer with Windows 7, and Eclipse 3.5.1 (Galileo).

The weird thing is that I can not see any files that Eclipse produces. I can not find the workspace, can not find the files from the SVN after check out.

It seems like Windows 7 can not read the files produced by Eclipse ... wierd

What could be the reason for this?

+2 A:

You can launch eclipse with the -showlocation option, which will display the path of the workspace in the title bar.
(See this eclipse.ini for instance)

From there, you can check if you find that workspace, and its eclipse projects within it.

You can also configure your shortcut:

Just out of curiosity: did you actually find the "vanished" files somewhere in `%LocalAppData%\VirtualStore` ?

I'd give this +10 if I could. Saved me a lot of work trying to figure out why plugins wouldn't install properly.
