I have been programming using eclipse and the Android SDK for a while now, and they stopped working suddenly today. What happens is whenever I try to open them, either from the start menu or folder, the splash/loading screen comes onto the screen for about a second, and then disappears. This has never happened before, and I can't seem to find anyone online with a similar problem. I restarted my computer, re-installed both the SDK and Eclipse, and still no luck. The only thing that may be affecting it is that I recently installed the Leap Motion software and SDK 2 days ago, and I haven't used either Eclipse or the SDK since then.

I'm running windows 8 and I already installed a JRE when I first got this computer. Thanks for any help. I you want me to post any more information about the problems just tell me what and how to find it. Thanks for any help.

UPDATE

I tried to add -clean and the same thing happened, and the same thing happened when I ran eclipse.exe from command prompt. No error message came up.

SOLVED

I re-installed java, and now it works perfectly! I think I may have messed up Java when I stopped an update in progress (which I forgot about until this morning. Sorry) Thanks everyone for your help.

  • Go to the command prompt, navigate to the Eclipse directory and run eclipse.exe from there. It should give you a useful error message on why it won't run. Post that here and someone can help. – Kirk Aug 08 '13 at 22:59
  • Here's some [useful info](http://wiki.eclipse.org/Eclipse.ini) about specifying your JVM. – jahroy Aug 08 '13 at 23:01
  • Start eclipse with -clean argument, might be a workspace screwup, that could help. – Evgheni Crujcov Aug 08 '13 at 23:03

  • I have always had trouble running anything from command prompt. I just was never taught how to. I keep getting an error that it can't find the location specified, after multiple attempts. If anyone can give me some tips or point me to a website that could, it would really help. (I have already tried a few websites that didn't work) – SplatFace Development Aug 08 '13 at 23:16
  • First, right click your Eclipse icon, and add -clean in Target: box, e.g. as such: C:\eclipse\eclipse.exe -clean. When things suddenly stop working after additional packages install its often a workspace issue and -clean would kill your old metafiles and allow them to be regenerated for new plugins. – Evgheni Crujcov Aug 08 '13 at 23:19
  • Also make sure you are launching Eclipse using JDK 6, and not a JRE, and not JDK 7. – Sean Barbeau Aug 09 '13 at 01:23

Try downloading the Android Studio, much better than Eclipse. http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing/studio.html

And, for simulator, I recommend using Genymotion http://www.genymotion.com/

much much faster than android simulador
