Local File History In CFEclipse - The Hacky Way

So lets say you wanted to find a file in your CFEclipse local history but you no longer have access to the server on which the project resides? The good news is it's still possible - the bad news is you have to get 'creative' to find it. But sometimes desperate times call for desperate measures.

It appears that all of your local history is stored in the following directory (your path may vary):

The bad news is that the subdirectories are not named in such an inuitive manner that you can easily find what you're looking for. A simple file system search on your operating system should help you here (assuming you remember something about the file that will allow you to search for it).

In my case it was a file that I very recently accessed so I sorted by date and quickly found the file I was looking for.
