How can I reset eclipse to default settings?

Tags:

eclipse

One of the top reasons I use an IDE editor is to get context information about the classes I am working on. Right now I have lost the java method context information, and have no idea where to reset it? I see an error displayed by eclipse on the line number as I am typing instead of the list of methods and signatures.

Delete the .metadata folder in your workspace.

Yes, Eclipse can be a pain, as almost any IDE can. Please remain factual, however.

Switching to a new workspace should help you. Eclipse has almost no settings that are stored outside your workspace.
