My Eclipse crashed and when I went to open it again it crashes when loading the workplace. I'm assuming the workplace didn't save correctly. Is there any easy fix? Should I make a new workplace? And what's the best way to do that?

This is Release 4.7.0 (Oxygen).

Here's the error message:

Yes, it looks like the workspace is corrupted (somewhere in the <workspace>/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.resources). You could open a new workspace and use File -> Import... -> Existing Projects into Workspace to import the projects from the old workspace into the new workspace (pointing at the old workspace folder if the projects are physically nested in the old workspace folder).

I've been having that problem a lot lately. What has worked for me, so far, is to force quit Eclipse if necessary. Then turn the computer off, leave it off for at least 20 seconds, and restart. Restart Eclipse, and if it come us at all, then move to a different workspace. Doing so appears to cause Eclipse to flush garbage from the workspace wherein you had problems. Then you can move back to the first workspace. If you are lucky, everything will be fine.
