today I restarted Eclipse 4.4 and I saw that it got stuck at Loading org.eclipse.jdt.debug.ui:

enter image description here

I tried to follow this thread on SO -> Eclipse hangs on loading workbench, deleting the .lock, *.snap files inside the .metadata directory, but neither of the two has worked for me, I guess the problem is not concerned the issue the OP in the linked thread had, cause he had a problem with loading com.android.ide.eclipse.adt.

Anyway, is there a possible solution I can apply?

EDIT: this is the output of the eclipse -clean -refresh start (I use STS)

machine:~ user$ ./STS -clean -refresh

  • Did U tried with empty .metadata ??? (backup it etc.) – SkorpEN Dec 05 '14 at 07:43
  • try http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17003747/error-in-eclipse-juno-upon-opening – SkorpEN Dec 05 '14 at 07:45
  • Thank you for the .metadata hint and for the link, I have tried to `mv .metadata .metadata.backup` and Eclipse started, so the problem is definitely related to the .metadata folder, but now all my settings and preferences are not user, how can I recover them? – tonix Dec 05 '14 at 07:54
  • if U got backuped .metadata. U could check in trash. – SkorpEN Dec 05 '14 at 08:12
  • I have a .metadata.backup in the workspace folder, I have tried to rename it back to .metadata only but it's not working, what should I do? – tonix Dec 05 '14 at 08:18
  • you could delete part of metadata only releated to your latest work. Or even less. It is up to U if it is worth effort. – SkorpEN Dec 05 '14 at 10:21
  • I end up resetting all my preferences again! Anyway, thanks for your interest and help! – tonix Dec 05 '14 at 10:42
