Answer 1

Check this page: How to restore deleted files in Eclipse

Suppose you have deleted any file by mistake. No need to worry. Deleted files can be restored from the history.

How to Do:

Right click on the project and open the context menu. And go for the menu item "Restore from Local History...".
