Hi I am trying to start the Eclipse 4.14 version through command line and it is not starting. Please have a look at my "LOG File" and suggest me valuable suggestion to get it working. I am working on Eclipse CDT for C/C++ Developers tool.

It looks like this application relies on plugins that rely on a workspace being available so you'd need to specify a -data argument followed by a folder that will be used as the "data location area".

/media/sf_VirtualBox/eclipse/eclipse -consolelog -application org.eclipse.cdt.core.CodeFormatter -help -quiet -config /media/sf_VirtualBox/eclipse/org.eclipse.cdt.core.prefs -data /media/sf_VirtualBox/eclipse/eclipse-workspace/Aspi_Project/src/Aspi_Project.c
Usage: eclipse -application org.eclipse.cdt.core.CodeFormatter [ OPTIONS ] [ -config <configFile> ] <files>

<files> C/C++ source/header files and/or directories to format.
Only source/header file endings (like .c .cpp or .h) will be formatted in the given directory.
-config <configFile> Use the formatting style from the specified properties file.
Refer to the help documentation to find out how to generate this file.

The usage of -data for setting the workspace is not supported yet and should be avoided!

OPTIONS:

-help Display this message.
-quiet Only print error messages.
-verbose Be verbose about the formatting job.

I have "-data" tag when I am specifying the workspace folder but it does not support the "-data" option in Eclipse 4.14 version as shown in the above reply. Need help and valuable suggestion in this regard. Many Thanks.

The argument processing is rather complex. Before the application itself is launched, the Eclipse runtime will process arguments as well (and first). That includes all of these:

https://help.eclipse.org/2019-12/index.jsp?topic=%2Forg.eclipse.platform.doc.isv%2Freference%2Fmisc%2Fruntime-options.html

These arguments are stripped out before the application itself is launched with any remaining command line arguments.

Given the failure you see:
Caused by: java.lang.IllegalStateException: The instance data location has not been specified yet.
at org.eclipse.core.internal.runtime.DataArea.assertLocationInitialized(DataArea.java:59)

It seems clear that the osgi.instance.area is not specified and this can be done with a -data argument.

So I cannot give you better advice than to try it.

I have found the solution with regard to this problem:

In eclipse.ini File We have to COMMENT or REMOVE these two lines:

1) -Dosgi.instance.area.default=@user.home/eclipse-workspace

2) -Dosgi.dataAreaRequiresExplicitInit=true

and Eclipse Formatting for CDT C/C++ Works for any file or directory consisting of multiple .h and .cpp/.c files

RESULT I GOT:

user@AMLR-1000:/media/sf_VirtualBox/eclipse$ /media/sf_VirtualBox/eclipse/eclipse -consolelog -application org.eclipse.cdt.core.CodeFormatter -verbose -config /home/user/eclipse-workspace/Aspi_Project/.settings/org.eclipse.cdt.core.prefs /home/user/eclipse-workspace/Aspi_Project/src/Aspi_Project.c

Configuration Name: /home/user/eclipse-workspace/Aspi_Project/.settings/org.eclipse.cdt.core.prefs

Starting format job ...

Formatting: /home/user/eclipse-workspace/Aspi_Project/src/Aspi_Project.c

DONE

Yes, that makes sense. The default behavior of the Eclipse installation wants to prompt for the workspace, which makes no sense for the application you are trying to run.

Thanks for sharing your solution!
