    I usually move my .metadata folder, restart eclipse (which will recreate the .metadata folder), import existing projects and then shutdown eclipse and restore following folders from the old .metadata to the new:

    .metadata\.plugins\:

    • org.eclipse.core.runtime
    • org.eclipse.debug.core
    • org.eclipse.debug.ui
    • org.eclipse.search
    • org.eclipse.ui.workbench
    • org.eclipse.ui.workbench.texteditor
    • org.tigris.subversion.subclipse.ui

    This will restore a lot of settings you had before and save you some time to reset them.
    This list is not exhaustive, there are more settings folders that could be restored but for me these were the most useful ones.
