Ok, I managed to find something that resembles to at least 90% of what I did today. For those of you using windows, in this directory:

C:\Users\xxx\IDLWorkspace84\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.c ore.resources\.history\

(substitute xxx with your username)

You will find loads of sub-directories with loads of files that resemble the work you were doing :-)

I looked for the most recent one. Compared a few of them and got my file back up...

Wicket combo: click save and boom pc down. Gotta watch out with that save button. It can be dangerous.

Anyway, now I know where to fish things.

Cheers,
Helder

Frustration is now back to low level
