[platform-core-dev] workspace repair does not work

[Baeckham <baeckham@xxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I am new to eclipse. Since a few days I doing a project at my university.

Now my workspace is corrupt. The view "variables" in debugging perspective 
does not work anymore. With other workspace this works. So it is a workspace 
related problem.

Now Im trying to fix this. I downloaded 
org.eclipse.core.tools.restorer_3.0.0.zip and unzipped it in my plugins 
directoy. 

Running eclipse -application org.eclipse.core.tools.restorer.application does 
fail with this output:
# cat /usr/local/eclipse/configuration/1179993449211.log
