So I've been splitting my development work between a windows laptop (on
the weekends) and a linux box (with the ergo keyboard and the big pipe
during the week), synchronizing everything with CVS and somewhere in
the middle of all of it my 'packages' disappeared. Now I still have the
code in CVS, and the directory structure appears unchanged, so I'm
assuming that the problem lies in the two Eclipsen overwriting each
other's metadata through CVS.

What I Want to know is where I can go to start figuring out how to fix
this? The metadata in the project tree is pretty skimpy. The data I
find in workspace/.metadata all seems to be in binary encoded formats
so it is not readily clear what to hack. Can someone even point me in
the right direction to ask more questions? I *so* don't have the time
to be fighting with my development tools...
