  Pydev workspaces become corrupted after loading them without Pydev
  installed

Status in eclipse package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  STEPS FOR REPRODUCING
  *********************

  Warning: This procedure will remove all your Eclipse's add-ons.

  1. Switch to a new and never used workspace by using the provider
  functionality at the “File/Switch workspace/Other...” menu.

  2. Install Pydev from http://pydev.org/updates by using the provided
  functionality at the “Help/Install new software” menu.

  3. Create a new Pydev project.

  4. Close Eclipse.

  5. Delete the folder named “.eclipse” in your personal folder. If you
  don't see it, you can show it by going to the
  “Edit/Preferences/Views/Default view” menu in the file explorer, and
  by marking the “Show the hidden and backup folders” option.

  6. Restart Eclipse and choose the workspace you created in the
  beginning.

  EXPECTED BEHAVIOUR
  ******************

  The  workspace to initiate.

  REAL BEHAVIOUR
  **************

  Eclipse hangs and the workspace becomes corrupted, and can never be
  opened again.

  WORKAROUNDS
  ***********

  >> For starting Eclipse at first run preventing your Pydev workspace
  to become corrupted:

  1. Start Eclipse by choosing a workspace never used.

  2. Install Pydev.

  3. Close Eclipse.

  4. Delete the workspace you have just created.

  >> For recovering a broken workspace:

  1. Close Eclipse.

  2. Rename the workspace to [workspace-name].back

  3. Create a folder called [workspace-name]

  4. Open Eclipse and choose [workspace-name] as workspace.

  5. Import [workspace-name].back projects into the current workspace by
  right-clicking on the Project Explorer section and choosing
  “Import...”. They should be imported as filesystem.
