Cannot launch Eclipse Application [message #558414]

I have been developing a Java plug-in which had been working fine, however now when I try to launch as an eclipse application, I momentarily get a wait cursor and then nothing happens. The Console tab says "<terminated> Eclipse Application [Eclipse Application] C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\javaw.exe (Sep 12, 2010 10:14:55 AM)". None of the other tabs say anything remotely relevant. This has worked in the past, so I must have changed something, but it bails out with no info even before I can launch the debugger.

Is there any way to find more detailed information about why it is failing to launch?

Thanks,

Mike

have a look into the ".log" files of your workspace you develop your
plugin in and the workspace of the target application. you can find them
in their ".metadata" directories.

Thanks, that helped me figure out the problem, which was that I needed to set Program to Run to org.eclipse.ui.ide.workbench. As a sidenote, it would be nice if the error was displayed somewhere in Eclipse.
