However you're launching Eclipse now, modify the procedure to add the -showlocation parameter. The workspace location will be embedded in the title bar.

On my workspace, I have, besides some projects directories, two Eclipse directories:

.metadata
.recommenders

Inside .metadata I have:

If you're in Windows, use this tool to search for it. If you're on Linux, use this

If I understand your question correctly, you are looking for the project folder and have no idea, where it might be? In this case you could try to search for .project files (using windows explorer) Should you find it, use File->Switch Workspace and select the folder two layers above the .project file. (e.g. C:/workspace if you found the file at C:/Workspace/myproject/.project)

Elipse usually stores some metadata in every workspace it works on. Go search for a .metadata folder in your harddisk. Its contents should look like this:

.plugins/
.bak_0.log
.bak_1.log
.bak_2.log
.lock
.log
version.ini
