I have tried many ways as deleting \WorkSpace\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.resources, run command line eclipse -clean, update JDK, but all have failed.

I'm running Eclipse on Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit.

I think this will helpful to you. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2120160/eclipse-is-not-starting-on-windows-7 — Bishan, May 03 '12 at 08:53
It may be a configuration file problem, if you can just download again Eclipse, sometimes it solves the problem. If not, maybe deleting (backup) all your personal config files ... — Uflex, May 03 '12 at 08:54
@Bishan: Thank you, I have read this link before. But I do not solve yet. — Levanphong7887, May 03 '12 at 08:57
@Uflex: I don't want to Reinstall Eclipse. I have just tried to delete "configuration" folder, but it still failed. Thanks anyway. — Levanphong7887, May 03 '12 at 09:00
When I was at school, I had problems like that when Eclipse was updated on the main server, never achieved to run properly again eclipse ... as I wasn't on a "production" environment, it wasn't a problem to download again Eclipse, but I can understand that it's not a proper solution, more a workaround that can be unacceptable. — Uflex, May 03 '12 at 09:15

I was able to fix an error like that by including the x86_64 plug-ins of org.eclipse.* in my run config as described in here.
