Steps to reproduce: 1. Create a project using an EFS provider. 2. Place a text file in that project. 3. Create a bookmark somewhere in that file. 4. Close the file. Confirm that clicking the bookmark you just created properly takes you to the right location in that file. 5. Close the file, close the workbench, and then start it up again. 6. Any bookmarks on EFS resources are gone. Not just disabled, but completely gone, with no apparent way to retrieve them.
What build?

I've tested it on Build id: N20090301-2000 using wrapped filesystem provider from org.eclipse.core.tests.resources. It works fine and bookmarks remain even when the workbench is restarted. What EFS provider do you use?

I think that there are two issues here. First is an RSE issue. When I restart my Eclipse and I have project "myProject" with a location on RSE filesystem, the project will become closed. This is because: "The project description file (.project) for 'myProject' is missing. This file contains important information about the project. The project will not function properly until this file is restored." I don't know why it happens. Another issue is Resources issue. Even if this RSE problem happens, markers should be restored when "myProject" is reopened. Id doesn't work that way. Invesigating.

The reason of the resource issue is that we get a project in an inconsistent state, i.e. the project is closed, but the project tree is not persisted in .metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.resources/.projects/[project] This can happen during starting Eclipse when we get an error while restoring meta data. Another way to reproduce the issue is to delete .tree file of a closed project. In both cases, we could try to restore the tree using the workspace .tree file. Working on the patch.

(In reply to comment #7) > In both cases, we could try to restore the tree using the workspace .tree file. There is a better solution though. When the worksapce is being restored and restoring project metadata fails, we can store the project tree just before the project is closed. And this is covered by the attached patch.
Released to HEAD.
