The eclipse accidentally stopped

Question

I recently used Eclipse and I had no problems with it. Last night I worked on it perfectly. However, this morning, whenever I download it, the program stops working halfway on the boot splash screen (before the real workspace opens). The info says “Download Workbench” and just stays there forever. When I click on it several times, I get a message saying that the Java (TM) Platform SE binary is not responding.

Google did not help, and it seems to just give a lot of feedback on Minecraft. I'm a little confused as to where I need to start looking, since nothing has changed since I used it successfully in the past. No updates for Java or Eclipse or anything else. Thanks for the help and let me know if you need more information!

Answer 1

I really could fix this by simply renaming my WorkSpace to WorkSpace1. Apparently, it is somehow corrupted, and with the renaming of Eclipse was able to recreate a new one. Here is the link that helped me:

Answer 2

Two things to check for problems with Eclipse:

• First, always check the .log file located in the .metadata directory ( <workspace path>/.metadata/.log ) of your workspace (and not in the Eclipse installation directory). Keep in mind that this is a hidden file under Linux or Mac OS. It usually contains a crash exception. I usually delete any existing .log file before starting Eclipse to make sure that I look at the corresponding log entries (the file will be recreated at startup).

• If # 1 does not help, you can try to completely remove the .metadata directory. It will be recreated at startup (this is basically what you did by changing the workspace). In my experience with Eclipse, I noticed that some files may get corrupted inside .metadata , which makes Eclipse weird. Keep in mind that this directory contains the settings that you created in Eclipse and its plugins for the workspace, and you may need to do them again.

Hope this helps.

Answer 3

Eclipse is sometimes weird. If you move material outside of directories, it was originally installed, it usually does not load. I don’t know what you did, but it’s best to back up your workspace and reinstall eclipse. I am sure this will do the trick.

Answer 4

Try reinstalling if possible, or else check the eclipse error log that will be present in ' /. metadata / .plugins / org.eclipse.ui.workbench / log .

This will help you understand the problem.
