Eclipse not starting on Ubuntu 14.04

Question

I have a problem running Eclipse on Ubuntu 14.04. A pop-up image appears, then blinks, turns white - and nothing happens until the Kingdom comes. I tried Luna, Kepler and 3.8 (from the Ubuntu repository). The editions of EE and SE are the same. I also tried to run them with different (oracle) vm - 1.7 and 1.8. And yes, I tried -clean and simple workspace removal.

This is the only thing he says in the console:

org.eclipse.m2e.logback.configuration: The org.eclipse.m2e.logback.configuration component was activated before the state location was initialized. Try again after the state location is initialized.

Java VM works fine - I can run (for example) IDEA or java\javac commands.

Any suggestions?

Answer 1

Try the following:

1) Remove .snap from:

 .metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.core.resources\.projects\<project>\.markers.snap 

If you cannot find it manually, try the following:

 find /.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.resources/.projects -name "*.snap" -exec rm -f {} \;

The answer is already here, but it is in the comments. So I will resubmit it as an answer: check your second screen . There may be a dialogue with the work area.

Answer 3

This usually happens when an eclipse suddenly closes. Here is what you can do. 1) Save and Delete. Metadata from the workspace folder. 2) Try reinstalling Eclipse.

This solution worked for me. :)

Answer 4

If you do not have pending changes and you have already promoted your project in your repo, you can also try deleting the project folder, where eclipse will automatically open the path to the project.

When you run eclipse again, it will work again.

Unfortunately, deleting the metadata did not help me. In addition, I do not have an additional monitor, so deleting my project folder was the last.
