Eclipse fails to start after crash

Question

Eclipse crashed and I cannot restart it. How do I recover from the crash?

Here is the .log file:

Edit: I tried starting with -clean but it didn't fix it.

You can try this. Open a command window or shell. Go to the directory with the Eclipse binary. Run `eclipse -clean`. — Eric Jablow, Apr 23 '13 at 00:25

I had a similar crash and starting eclipse with -clean option did not help. I ended up deleting .metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.e4.workbench file, which fixed this problem.

Great. I had exactly the same problem and I can fixed it by removing `.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.e4.workbench`. Thanks. – FUJI Goro Jul 03 '13 at 18:57

removing org.eclipse.e4.workbench worked, thx, for me this happened after reboot after creating 1st project that used Android 4.4. – scottyab Nov 13 '13 at 10:17
Same problem and fix here after first using Android 4.4. – Carsten Nov 17 '13 at 23:20
Works like a charm! Saved me the time of creating a new workspace and importing all git repositories – gkapagunta Mar 26 '14 at 19:31
This even sped up the loading time in eclipse... I wonder why that is? – Dylan Knowles Jun 11 '14 at 16:59

Worked for me too. Just wanted to add that I had a DIFFERENT crash on the stacktrace (it was a deadlock) than the OP, and still removing the file inside that folder solved it for me. – pertz Aug 06 '14 at 04:15

Works. But what is this file? What do we lose? – KCD Sep 19 '14 at 02:37
This was a folder rather on my Eclipse version (Kepler Service Release 2). Deleting the folder also fixed the problem. – Steve Chambers Jul 07 '15 at 14:12
It works! After successful eclipse start and gently closing it I moved this folder back. After that eclipse started without any problems and my workbench settings were restored. – Grzegorz Sancewicz Nov 29 '16 at 09:37

thats right. you can fix this by just deleting or renaming this folder in your workbench directory - .metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.e4.workbench to .metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.e4.workbench.temp .

Go to your Workspace/.metadata/.plugins and delete everything in there. Eclipse will start and regenerate the folder and files.

see How to run eclipse in clean mode? and what happens if we do so?

http://aglazkov.wordpress.com/2010/07/18/one-way-to-restore-eclipse-workspace/

http://breathingtech.com/2009/how-to-reset-workspace-in-eclipse/

Open your task manager –> right click the javaw.exe process –> chose to end process tree (this will end all java runtime processes running on your computer).

Then go to your Eclipse folder –> configuration.settings and delete the org.eclipse.ui.ide.prefs file. Restart Eclipse and try opening your workspace again. This does the trick for me :) Beaware that deleting this file results in resetting your workspace history so when starting Eclipse you need to manually browse to your workspace location.

remove the workspace folder or rename it

My machine was slow and I try to close the eclipse . After few attempts eclipse got closed. After i restarted the machine , the eclipse was not getting opened and it was showing multiple errors.

I deleted the .\metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.jdt.ui\variablesAndContainers.data file and .\metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.e4.workbench\workbench.xmi file .

After which eclipse was working.

After nothing of the above points worked for me, I just checked the RAM usage in the task manager. To my shock, I found that, out of the 2 GB RAM that I have, I just had 100 MB left. Eclipse took like 1 GB from that. I killed all the other unwanted applications, and then re ran eclipse.

It simply worked :-)

Nowadays, when I run eclipse, I run it without any unwanted , RAM consuming applications

Eclipse fails to start after crash
