Why does Eclipse Mars not read the project location correctly?

I have a project that has lived in my workspace for some time. It is a git project and I use Egit and cygwin git to manage it. Not sure if that's relevant.
I'm not sure what's messing up eclipse but, in the last day, I have noticed that when I start eclipse, my project is marked as closed. When I looked at the project properties, I saw that eclipse is using the wrong path. Instead of:
C:\cygwin64\home\rcoe\git\projectname
it is now pointing at:
C:\cygwin64\home\rcoe\.gitconfig\projectname
However, my .metadata .location file (which is binary) shows that the location is correct. This file is buried in my workspace, which is located in my Windows home directory.
I tried deleting my project and re-importing it, both as a git project and as a general project, and it opens no problem. I can even close and open eclipse right away and the project stays open. However, give it a few minutes and re-open eclipse and the project now thinks it lives under a non-existent .gitconfig directory. I even tried creating a new workspace and importing my project. Same behaviour.
So, I'm not sure whether this is an Eclipse Mars bug, or Egit, or something else. Has anyone seen this kind of behaviour before?
Edit:
I hit new snags trying to share my project using Eclipse 4.4. The Luna git plugin threw errors about the plugin. So I went back to Mars (4.5) and created a new workspace. The .location file looks like this
#±‹#¼ %–磓¾ 2URI//file:/C:/cygwin64/home/rcoe/git/logprocessing ÀXûó#¼ QóŒ{»wÆ
but when I open Eclipse, the properties of the project looks like:
C:\cygwin64\home\rcoe\.gitconfig\logprocessing
I have no idea what Eclipse is using for its location, if not the .location file.
I found what looks to be a solution. I moved the .gitconfig file from my cygwin home, which is where Eclipse was configured to look for it. On starting Eclipse, I was able to import my project without error. And even though Eclipse's previous error messages implied it wanted to write to the project directory beneath a .gitconfig directory (cf. https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=473782), Eclipse did nothing of the sort.
I am now able to restart Eclipse, run my unit tests, etc., without error. I am also able to interact with my Git repo using Eclipse, even though Eclipse no longer points at my .gitconfig and so does not know my user.name or user.email properties.
On Windows, it would be best to use git for Windows instead of git in Cygwin. It comes with Git 2.4.6 released 5 days ago.
That way, Eclipse doesn't have to manage two different filesystem, and two different HOME (C:\cygwin64\home\rcoe vs. %USERPROFILE%)

Eclipse Luna - Run Configurations won't display my git Project

Recently I pulled a project form Github. The language I'm working with is C. When I try to run it, it will say "The selection cannot be launched, and there are no recent launches." I can't compile either. So what I did was search the internet for how to fix this. And the mighty internet said I shall change my run configurations and select my project and then run that. This is what I tried - I opened the configurator and browsed for my project, but it wasn't displayed. I can see the project in the navigator and I can commit/push/pull as well. Still, I can't choose it in the run configurator. Any ideas what I could do?
Thank you very much!
PS: I already saw this post (Can't run project in Eclipse imported from Git) but there is no maven option when importing.

Eclipse workspace issue with CCRC plugin error

Update 28 May 2013:
I have found a work around for this. Though this is not always works MOST of the time it does.
In Eclipse > Preferences > General > Startup and Shutdown
uncheck the option "ClearCase Remote Client plug-in"
Every time I start the problem workspace, before doing anything (like click on any resource or click on project in project explorer) I connect to the ClearCase repository.
This seems to calm down the error most of the time. Also, the Eclipse shortcut that I have on my desktop, has -clean option set in it. So when I start the eclipse my eclipse already starts with the clean up option. Though not sure if it has any bearing on the problem.
However not sure if this will help in a situation when I am working offline; when I can not connect to the ClearCase repository.
Update 21 May 2013:
At this time it looks like there is no resolution for this except a CCRC plugin upgrade.
For now marking VonC's answer as correct. Will update the post if I find a better solution.
I created a fresh new workspace and setup the workspace and so far I do not see any problems so far. Still not sure what was wrong with my workspace though.
==================================================
I have been having this problem for quite sometime on one of the workspace.
Error:
I am seeing the following error pop up with the error message; and will NOT go away.
An error has occurred. See error log for more details.
Could not initialize class com.ibm.rational.team.client.ui.model.common.ImageManager
Symptoms:
It happens only in one work space almost all the time.
Every time I restart this workspace, when ever I click on any projects in project explorer or any open file, it causes the error pop up to come up.
It goes away if I close all files, close the offending project and then delete the project. I fire up eclipse, re-import the project and the issue goes away only as long as I continue using the eclipse. Once I restart the eclipse the same problem persists.
What I have tried so far:
start eclipse with -clean option --> It does not solve the problem.
I have enabled the "Refresh workspace on startup" option in "Eclipse > Preferences > General > Startup and Shutdown" --> this does not solve theproblem.
I deleted the folder "org.eclipse.core.resources" under "Offending_Workspace > .metadata > .plugins" folder --> this has no effect. The problem persists as mentioned in Symptoms3 above.
System Info:
Windows 7 Enterprise Edition 64 bit.
Eclipse 3.7 Java EE developers
CCRC plugin Version: 7.1.0.0 , Build id: 7.1.1.03.00_2010C.D100803
Is there anything that can be done to resolve this. It's frustrating to work with such a broken plugin, that practically hinders ones work.
Any suggestion will be helpful.
This looks like PM38965 and there is no other solution than upgrading:
A fix is available in ClearCase versions 7.1.1.8, 7.1.2.5 and 8.0.0.1
You can see it listed in this release note:
PM38965:
Addresses a ClearCase issue where the ClearTeam Explorer produces a "Could not initialize class com.ibm.rational.team.client.ui.model.common.ImageManager" error intermittently when performing various operations.
The OP reports a workaround:
In Eclipse > Preferences > General > Startup and Shutdown, uncheck the option "ClearCase Remote Client plug-in"
Every time I start the problem workspace, before doing anything (like click on any resource or click on project in project explorer) I connect to the ClearCase repository.
This seems to calm down the error most of the time.
Also, the Eclipse shortcut that I have on my desktop, has '-clean' option set in it. So when I start the eclipse my eclipse already starts with the clean up option.
Though not sure if it has any bearing on the problem. However not sure if this will help in a situation when I am working offline; when I can not connect to the ClearCase repository.
The '-clean' being a local operation, it will have the same effect offline or online.

Upload files from Eclipse Juno?

I am building a new workspace in Ubuntu 12.10 with Eclipse Juno. I have configured my project, imported my files, established a local Git repo and synced it to a remote on GitHub. However, all my efforts to be able to upload files (php, html, css, and other website files) to servers have failed.
I have both Remote System Explorer (RSE) and Aptana Studio 3. Though I have successfully established connections both to localhost for testing and to my live webserver, none of my attempts to upload have succeeded.
Ideally, when I save any file in Eclipse, it would automatically be copied to my /var/www for my localhost test server. I have researched several sync options without success.
Additionally, I want to be able to use Ctrl+Shift+U or similar to upload the current file to my public server.
I have spent much of the last two days reading and researching, but have found minimal documentation, and blog entries are for obsolete versions.
I have no Deploy menu item, the Aptana Publish menu item is disabled, and if I use Eclipse's Export command from the right-click menu, and choose my localhost connection, I get error "Unable to use connection." This, despite being able to browse the contents in RSE's pane. When I try to export to the public server, the error is "This operation will remove previous team provider settings that were set for MyProjectName. Are you sure you want to do this?"
I am making the change to Eclipse for a more efficient workflow but so far it has cost me many days of frustration and I still can't upload a simple .html file?!
Ok, as I understand it, you want to copy a file at save and upload it via FTP, yes?
You should look into Ant. You can configure Eclipse to run an Ant script when you save or build a project.
How to copy files with Ant
Ants FTP task
How to get ant to run when building a project
this post might be helpful for you, if you use Eclipse RSE: How to synchronize files over FTP with Eclipse RSE?
Moreover they mention there some problems with jdk7 (for the older eclipse version). Check that too.
For the actions you to be performed automatically/on keypress, well for that I didn't find any quick solution.

Eclipse - An internal error occurred during: "Compute launch button tooltip"

I launched Eclipse earlier to jot down a snippet and was faced with the following as an error when I tried to run a fresh project:
An internal error occurred during: "Compute launch button tooltip".
That popup window shows as soon as I mouse-over the run icon in the top bar, or if I right click on the class in the explorer window and select any of the run/debug options.
After doing some research on the error, I see several people who posted similar messages but they all have been fresh installs of Eclipse. So note that this is not a fresh install, and that Eclipse was working fine earlier today. Also note that not only does my new project not run (with the normal main method), but projects I was running earlier have all stopped working with the same error.
Finally, also be aware that after seeing other people's suggestions on fixing this, one specifically said to select run configurations from the top of the page run menu. When I selected run configurations from this dropdown, I got the following message:
Exception occurred creating launch configuration tabs
Reason: Plug-in org.eclipse.jdt.debug.ui was unable to load class org.eclipse.jdt.internal.debug.ui.launcher.LocalJavaApplicationTabGroup
After that message, the run window opens but all of the tabs are missing. Like where you can set the display width and height, and the other tabs, they are all missing from the window now.
I was using Eclipse trouble free earlier today and I am sure no updates took place between when Eclipse was working and now. My question is of multiple parts: What is wrong in a nutshell? What could have caused this?
Got this from another site of some guy who got this same error after upgrading.
Worked for me as well.
Apparently putting the following line in your eclipse.ini helps:
-Dcom.ibm.icu.util.TimeZone.DefaultTimeZoneType=ICU
Try setting the launch properties in:
Window>Preferences>Run/Debug(Expand)>Launching(Click)
Under launch Operations menu set it to:
Always launch the previously launched application
Click:
Apply>Ok
I never found out what went wrong, but a reinstall of eclipse fixed it. All projects survived seemingly undamaged.
Thanks for the reply on the .ini but that did no good.
I had same error today - in an eclipse installation (Juno SR2 64bit) that has been running fine for months.
0: There were no changes on svn for my projects since yesterday (when it was running fine).
1: I restored the workspace from a 'Windows 7 -> Properties -> previous copy' backup. This failed because the directory structure of the '.metadata' contains folders with a deeper structure than is supported.
2: I restored the workspace from a overnight archive (gzipped so file depth is not an issue).
This had no effect.
3: I tried to restore the eclipse installation directory (which seems to be updated an awful lot) from a 'Windows 7 -> Properties -> previous copy' backup. Again this failed - because of folder-depth issues (Note: it is installed in the root directory of my disk - so there is actually no way to use a restore on this installation!)
4: Had to delete the .metadata from my workspace and reinstall eclipse (and all the additional plugins), and re-import my projects, and setup all the servers, and android, etc, which took many hours.
The moral of the story? Backup both your workspace AND the eclipse installation every night manually. Windows Restore will NOT save you. Backing up your workspace is NOT enough.
I had the same problem using eclipse mars. I cleared the folder .recommenders\index
And that solved my issue.
Hope it helps.
incase you are having the eclipse files which you have downloaded from the official site .Just extract those file in the same folder where your previous eclipse was installed and select replace all.
best solution
I also encountered this issue, the reason why this issue occurred on my project was due to I was missing the JRE System Library in the root folder of my project.
To solve this issue, make sure you have the libraries like JRE System Libraries on the root folder of your project.
