If you create a project with a name such that there is already a folder with
that name in the workspace, nothing should have been deleted.
When you are using a CVS checkout, then the previous project content is
overwritten.
Now it looks like in your case the files are gone. :-(
May be a bug?
What version/eclipse configuration do you use?
Can you provide a list of steps to reproduce your problem?
