Eclipse crashes with no error message on Windows Vista [message #52710] Wed, 19 March 2008 01:40 Go to next message

I'm trying to run Eclipse on Windows Vista. I have been able to run it for
a few weeks without problem. I was using it the other day and it crashed
without any error messages. Since then, whenever I start it, I get the
splash screen, and the progress bar (on the splash screen) gets about 1/4
filled and then it exits. Anyone have any suggestions? I deleted the .lock
file in the workspace's .metadata folder, but it keeps coming back
whenever I attempt to start Eclipse. Since I configured Eclipse to use my
workspace and not ask again, I can't try using another workspace.

Alexander,

It's best to ask on the platform or newcomer newsgroup since this
newsgroup is to discuss the operations of the Eclipse foundation itself,
not to ask technical questions. Perhaps you could try using the -data
<workspace> command line option to specify a different workspace...
