Unable to Start Eclipse [message #1832884]

Mon, 28 September 2020 13:26

Eclipse User

I closed down Eclipse to restart my computer to complete installation of an unrelated application. I noticed that there was an error instead of the the usual "Saving workbench state...". Upon reopening Eclipse, I got an error:

An error has occurred. See the log file...
LOCATION_OF_FILE

The most recent entry in the log file seems to pertain to a missing file, which I believe had unsaved changes that it is trying to recover (I am used to Zend Studio which puts an asterisk beside unsaved files, so I forgot to save the file when I closed the entire application).

Hoping someone can lend a hand here as I am dead in the water as it stands. Here is the last entry:

Re: Unable to Start Eclipse [message #1832885 is a reply to message #1832884]

While waiting on a response from the community, I decided to try the fix from this Stack Overflow article:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3505187/eclipse-wont-start-log-error-says-objectnotfoundexception-tree-element

However, the result of removing the SNAP files is the project is lost and an error saying "Cannot determine URI for '/ymsapp/application/common/models/api_client.php'." is displayed.
I backed up the SNAP files and restored them after, but unfortunately this did not bring my project back. So, I guess I should have waited for a response. Oops. Any ideas on how to get back on track, or should I just blow the whole thing up and start from scratch?

It seems your workspace is quite corrupt. If that happened to me, and deleting the *.snap files didn't fix the problem, I would delete the <workspace>/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.resources folder. The IDE should then come up with an empty workspace. Then I would use File -> Import... -> General -> Existing Projects into Workspace, locate my workspace folder (or wherever the physical projects are stored on disk), and thereby re-import those projects into my workspace.

You could also start with a new workspace and import the projects from the old workspace in the same way; note the "Copy projects into workspace" checkbox which can be checked to copy the projects from physically being in the old workspace folder to the new workspace folder.

You could also delete the entire <workspace>/.metadata folder, but that would loose all your workspace's preferences and configuration information; that shouldn't be necessary.

Yeah, I ended up having to import the existing git projects. I'm not sure how it got so corrupted... I didn't do anything crazy, and this project is only a few days old.
