Recovering a corrupt Eclipse workspace

I had a computer crash with a running Eclipse which resulted in a corrupt workspace. I was simply getting message that workspace is in use. While there is many proposed solutions on the internet the simplest one is to open .metadata folder in your workspace, make sure that you can see invisible (hidden) files there and remove .lock file. Works like a charm and preserves all projects. :)
