I use eclipse with subversion in Ubuntu linux. Today I made some new java class files and edited old one (those classes are connected). I tried to update, but there were some conflicts. So i did "update and commit" to those NEW made java files and now I can't find them anymore. They are not even in folder where my project is. How can I recover them? There were too much work made to do again Thanks

If these are really new files and you did not yet commit them there might be no chance to restore them from SVN. SVN keeps only track of commited files.

But Eclipse has a local history. You can try this one.

Just select the folder the files were in and right click, then choose "Restore from Local History"
