Troubleshooting
Problem
If your IBM® Rational® Application Developer (RAD) workspace becomes corrupted, you can run the Eclipse workspace rebuilder utility in an attempt to rebuild the projects in your workspace. This technote provides information on how to get Workspace Re-Builder, a command-line utility which is provided as-is by Eclipse.
Cause
Corruption of your workspace could be caused by several reasons, such as:
- you received an out of memory error
- you ran out of disk space
- power was interrupted while you were working
Resolving The Problem
Follow the steps below to get the Workspace Re-Builder tool, which can be found on the Eclipse Core download page at:
http://www.eclipse.org/eclipse/platform-core/downloads.php
- Note: You can get the Workspace Re-Builder Plug-in (version 3.0.0) re-build utility directly from:
http://www.eclipse.org/eclipse/platform-core/downloads/tools/org.eclipse.core.tools.restorer_3.0.0.zip
This download location might be subject to change, or there could be updates to the utility. Check the Eclipse Core download page for any changes.
- Download the Workspace Re-Builder tool
- Extract it to the Eclipse plugins directory of your install.
For instance:
unzip org.eclipse.core.tools.restorer_3.0.0.zip -d <RADInstallDir>/eclipse/plugins - For details on how to run the workspace rebuilder utility, see the readme for the utility at:http://www.eclipse.org/eclipse/platform-core/downloads/tools/readme_restorer_3.0.0.html
Note that this command-line utility is provided "as is" by Eclipse. IBM does not provide support for this utility.
