[news.eclipse.platform] Re: Recover .java-files after computer crash?

[Vijay Aravamudhan <varavamu@xxxxxxxxx>]

look at: http://sourceforge.net/projects/savedirtyeditor
this was inspired by another newsgroup post. There is also a bug: 
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=34076 which is supposed to 
track incorporation of this functionality into the core eclipse.

thanks,
Vijay
