Hi,

I suddenly have a problem starting Eclipse (using version 2.1.1). It
just shows a little dialog box telling "Problems during startup. Check
the ".log" file... etc.".

I have to add that I normally start it with the "-data" argument
pointing to my own workspace directory. If I start eclipse without this
arguement everything seems to be ok, so I think that the insatllation is
not broken -- despite of some strange error messages in the ".log" that
do suggest (at least for me) something different.

So some of the relevant parts of my ".log" are these:

So what's happening here -- and: can I fix it for myself?
And -- no, I currently don't have a backup of my workspace -- I deleted
it accidently after trying to upgrade to version 3.0M2 several days
ago... :-(

This "ObjectNotFoundException" at the beginning is irritating for me,
since that source file is actually there -- if I'm right that the path
is meant to be relative to the workspace directory.

Thanks in advance for any help or useful suggestions... ;-)

Bye,
Horst.

The workspace metadata file became corrupt. Please add a comment to bug
38682:

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=38682

The most important information you can provide is what happened at the
end of your previous session. Did Eclipse crash? Was there a VM error
file? Did the session end normally? Is there any information in the log
file from the last session before the startup failure? This kind of
info can help us determine what happened, and whether this is a
duplicate of a similar bug fixed since 2.1.1.

Finally, there is some hope for your old workspace. There is a
workspace restore plugin available that will attempt to restore your old
workspace from available metadata. Download and instructions on how to
use it are found here:

http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/%7Echeckout%7E/plat form-core-home/dev.html

Look under spies/tools.
