Eclipse projects are not visible in workspace folder

Question

The weird part is I can see my projects through package explorer.
I can also export them.
But when I want to access them elsewhere e.g windows explorer, they are not there.
All I see is .metadata folder.

An unexpected shutdown of the system occurred not too long ago.

Edit: When I switched the workspace, created and opened a project, they're still not visible/accessible outside of the eclipse project explorer.

Any ideas?

Answer 1

You most likely haven't ticked "Copy projects into workspace" checkbox option.

File -> Import -> Existing projects into workspace:

Answer 2

Obviously, there is a problem with Windows explorer and OneDrive in particular.

When I navigate to C:/Users/username/OneDrive/Documents/workspace or through command line I do see my eclipse projects.
But when I try to use 'Open file..' option from any application or navigate through Windows explorer, projects are not recognized nor displayed.

Answer 3

It is possible that the projects were not put into the default, workspace folder.

To check this, right click on such a project, select Properties (it is usually available at the bottom of the list), go to the Resources tab, where you have the location of the project files displayed.
