Hello,

I'm unable to select an existing workspace after my eclsipe program that
was accessing it was not shutdown properly. I get a "Workspace in Use"
error when there is clearly no other eclipse instances running I my machine.

Could any one give me an idea how I can open the existing workspace again ?

Try removing the .lock file from the workspace, and restarting eclipse. The
location is:
<workSpace>\.metadata\.lock

If you're lucky you can fix this by deleting the .lock and .log files in the .metadata folder.

If you're slightly less lucky you might have to kill the java process and/or reboot your system.

If you're not lucky you might have to copy .metadata elsewhere, delete the local copy, open a blank workspace there, close Eclipse, and then copy back in the .metadata folder.

If you're me then none of these will work this time and you'll be on here trying to find a solution.
