Killing Eclipse does not start even after -clean option [message #198227]

I was updating eclipse and its started some background process. It
almost hanged my system so i needed to force kill eclipse. Now, when i
started eclipse with -clean option it still throws exception about some
plugin and shuts down. So i delete eclipse/configuration/org.eclipse.*
Still it was failing to start.

So deleted .metadata from workspace..then it worked. But all
customization and everything was lost. Is there any safer alternative to
this?

i belief it is ;) if you know where the problems lays you can find
proper way to solve it. you can look for errors in .log file.
