Eclipse will not start and I haven't changed anything

Question

I haven't updated anything for at least a month. I was just working normally and suddenly the menus were all blank, so I decided to restart eclipse. I clicked "close" and "ok" to save everything, but nothing happened, so I clicked close again and eclipse closed. I clicked on eclipse and the loading screen only flashes and disappears followed by a message telling me to check the .log file. I've since restarted the pc multiple times, tried running it in safe mode and ran eclipse.exe -clean and nothing works.

Any ideas?

I used eclipse -clean -clearPersistedState and that worked for me. You will lose your window layout configuration, but that seems minor to me.

For Linux systems try: ./eclipse -clean -clearPersistedState

Ok so i figured it out. Go to yourWorkspace/.metadata/.plugins and delete everything in there. Eclipse will start and repopulate the folder.

To add - if you are testing a plugin and get this problem then you need to remove the plugin equivalent, which on my machine was: Eclipse/runtime-EclipseApplication/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.e4.workbench/workbench.xml – Joe May 23 '14 at 09:16

This works like champ on mac os or windows.

Remove workbench.xmi located at workspace/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.e4.workbench/workbench.xmi. Then start your Eclipse or ADT. This will not erase your workspace or repository.

Remove workbench.xmi cmd:

rm workspace/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.e4.workbench/workbench.xmi.

Its work fine. But can you elaborate why this is happening and how it solves after removing it? – Siddiq Abu Bakkar May 22 '14 at 09:18
Changes during runtime, are written back to the model.This is due to during the development somehow the workspace is corrupted. E.g. Stopping the Eclipse while debugging, caching issue, stopping Eclipse before settings are saved, running out of memory, user moves a part to a new container via drag and drop. If the RCP application is closed, theses changes are recorded and saved independently in a workbench.xmi. [Look into this docs step #4.Constructing the runtime application model](http://www.vogella.com/tutorials/Eclipse4Modularity/article.html#contributecomponents_userchanges/) – ToolFan May 22 '14 at 22:48
On windows the path was C:\Users\myname\Adobe Flash Builder 4.7\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.ui.workbench – Eric Jul 10 '14 at 14:49

I deleted the workbench.xmi in the folder workspace/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.e4.workbench/.

I got this error because a build hung and then I tried to quit. However, I had unsaved changes. This prompted the following errors in logfile about unsaved changes and jobs that are not finished.

Today, I had the same problem. My eclipse refused to start. When I double clicked on Eclipse icon I was able to see splashscreen for a second and then nothing happen. Tried most of the solutions here: removed lock file, renamed workspace, tried to start Eclipse with different clean parameters. I even put a new copy of Eclispe and tried to start with a new workspace. Nothing!

My logs were showing bunch of errors from yesterday when my workstation was rebooted at 17:45.

!ENTRY org.eclipse.ui.workbench 4 2 2014-12-17 17:45:12.178
!MESSAGE Problems occurred when invoking code from plug-in: "org.eclipse.ui.workbench".
!STACK 0
java.lang.NullPointerException

In the end this very simple change (look below) saved my Eclipse together with my workspace!

SOLUTION:

I edited eclipse.ini and added following line:

-vm
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_26\bin\javaw.exe

Eclipse has started again with all my projects inside! I hope this can help.

Found a nice article showing where these types of logs are and what you can do at: http://www.eclipsezone.com/eclipse/forums/t99010.html This article is particularly good for older versions of Eclipse. — entpnerd, Nov 02 '15 at 22:26

Maybe worth mentioning that when I had this problem I followed bia.migueis's advice - move everything out of the plugins folder - and the workspace would open again, minus a lot of my configuration. But then after that, I copied/overwrote all the original files back into the plugins folder and opened the workspace again: it still worked and the settings I'd had before seemed to be intact.

I moved workbench.xmi located at workspace/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.e4.workbench/workbench.xmi to a backup folder. Then started eclipse and waited for all background processes to finish. Then I closed eclipse and moved my backup copy of workbench.xmi back (overwriting the one created with the last launch). Eclipse launched fine and I got all my settings back.

If you deleted all data in .metadata directory. There is a quick way to import all your projects again. Try this:

File --> Import --> General: Select Existing projects into workspace --> Select root directory: Browse to old workspace folder (the SAME with the current workspace folder is OK) --> Finish.

Read my answer if recently you have been using a VPN connection.

Today I had the same exact issue and learned how to fix it without removing any plugins. So I thought maybe I would share my own experience.

My issue definitely had something to do with Spring Framework

I was using a VPN connection over my internet connection. Once I disconnected my VPN, everything instantly turned right.
