Eclipse hangs after installing egit

Question

I am using Eclipse Indigo. Today I tried to install egit plugin using link "http://download.eclipse.org/releases/indigo".

While installing the egit, my proxy got squished and the install was stuck. I then logged in from a different proxy. The thing got installed.

Now when i am trying to start it again, i get this error "Accessing non-adaptable element org.eclipse.ecf.examples.remoteservices.hello.ds.host" and eclipse stops.

It does not show any error message or anything.

How should I solve this issue ??
Should i reset the eclipse proxy setting to a new location without starting the IDE ?? Or should I reset eclipse to a point before installing egit
??

Please explain the procedure in the answer.

I tried removing all entries from eclipse.ini. where are the proxy settings stored for eclipse ?? — prathmesh.kallurkar, Jan 28 '12 at 07:06
Also, "configuration/.settings/org.eclipse.core.net.prefs" file contains the proxy-host but no information on proxy login. — prathmesh.kallurkar, Jan 28 '12 at 07:16

reinstalling everything seems to be an obvious solution. Can you tell me your answer again. – prathmesh.kallurkar May 28 '12 at 09:18

Check if this is really a proxy issue. Try launching eclipse after your network adapter is disconnected (unplug your lan/switch of wifi) This should put git in offline mode and you should be able to change your settings. We had tried this when we had issue with our versioning tool (perforce) and i am assuming git also works in a similar mode.
