After you have re-created your workspace, you can re-add projects to your workspace by following these steps:

Select File :: Import :: Other :: General :: Existing Projects into Workspace
Browse for the root directory (if the projects share a common parent, like the workspace directory, select that)
Check all the projects you want to re-import and click Finish

Now that you know where the projects are stored within said metadata..., no there isn't a way to recover that list.
You need to re-import those projects in your workspace.

The name of those project comes from their respective .project file.
