Eclipse - how to disable error message that prevents startup - eclipse

I'm using a QNX-based Eclipse momentics-qnx-7.0-201607252121.win32.x86_64
Apparently it doesn't like it when you store it in a location that has spaces.
When I start Eclipse, I get a modal message
"installation directory of IDE or SDK ... contains space characters, it may cause untraceable errors during make. You should exit the IDE and fix the error"
But when I click OK it just exits the IDE.
It looks like this was an error message added specifically by QNX.
For me, this message is irrelevant because I don't use the built-in make.
QUESTION
Is there a way for me to disable this message (like .ini file)?
It works fine moving it to a location with no space in path.

"Errors exist in the active configuration..." Eclipse Dialog when Debugging

An "Errors exist in the active configuration of project X. Proceed with launch?" dialog appears while debugging code in Eclipse. Hitting the "Proceed" button results in successful debugging. There are no apparent errors with the launch configuration. A similar Run Configuration does not generate the error.
This is caused by an invalid path somewhere in your Eclipse project settings. There are a couple common sources for this kind of error.
You're working on a shared (version controlled, copied, etc) project where someone has hardcoded a path that doesn't exist on your machine, or uses an environment variable that you've not set.
Sometimes, you can find the offending path by looking at the full list of Error messages. If not, look in your project file.
The Discovery Options in your project properties has 'Automate discovery of paths and symbols' enabled - but the process is generating an error.
If you're using a version of Eclipse that warns you this option is deprecated, uncheck the option to disable it and fix any includes in 'Preprocessor Include Paths' instead. If not. . .try it anyway.
Depending on your path changes, restart Eclipse and try again.
It starts the executable that was built last before you broke the build. That executable will be older then your source files. The reason you were able to debug is because your line numbers did not change for the code you've debugged - e.g. you may try break in main then introduce a compilation error and move main a couple lines below - the debug will highlight the wrong lines when it stops.

How can I debug why eclipse won't start?

I've been having trouble getting a weblogic server to run in eclipse, which have resulted in me not being able to open eclipse ni my current workspace at all. It is not my first attempt to work with weblogic servers in eclipse, and I do not know why it suddenly decided to stop working. I have had multiple errors, which all seem to be related to an abnormal high memory consumption.
One of my last errors, before eclipse quit on me for good, was an out of memory exception, on PermGenSpace. I set variables to 1024m, but it still complained it wasn't enough. After a lot of restarts, Eclipse suddenly wouldn't open my current workspace. I have tried others, and they work fine, but with my current one, the splash/loading screen disappears after about 10% of the loading bar is complete, and nothing happens at all. Except the fact that eclipse.exe shows up in the running processes tab on Windows task list. It does not show in the running programs list.
My attempts to start weblogic servers had the exact same symptoms. They showed in the process list, but did not respond when I tried to open the console in my browser.
Both eclipse and the weblogic tasks (shown as java.exe) has had over 400.000KB of memory consumption each, which I find very high.
I do not expect anyone to be able to find a complete solution here, but I am absolutely stuck. I cannot access any of my previous error messages. I have no experience debugging an error like this. Does anyone have any idea on how to find the error in a case like this?
My Weblogic version is 10.3.2, which is a company standard for now.
My Eclipse version is:
Eclipse Java EE IDE for Web Developers.
Version: Kepler Service Release 2
Build id: 20140224-0627
Adding the comment as an answer since it provided some help.
Try starting up to a new empty workspace; If you dont get to select workspace at startup use the argument "-data " If you still get issues, look at the log in /.metadata/.log

Eclipse crashes when coding in java. Exit code=-1073740771

I've downloaded the Android ADT bundle so that I can learn to code Android applications. I also downloaded every package on the SDK manager.
Unfortunately, when I try to code anything in Java Eclipse crashes upon opening content assist.
Basically, when I type the dot operator the content assist box opens and suggests methods as per the norm. However, when I type anything after this point the content assist box tries to open the accompanying window with API information about the method I'm trying to invoke. At this point Eclipse crashes, without fully loading the API window.
If I don't specify the -vm argument in the eclipse.ini file the windows error window says that 'Java(TM) platform SE binary has stopped working' and gives me an error window afterwards as follows: http://i.imgur.com/7bwaB52.png
If I do specify the -vm argument(and I'm not sure I'm doing this correctly) the windows error window say that 'eclipse.exe has stopped working' and does not give any more information.
Having tried several things and having looked everywhere I'm stumped.
Windows Update KB4463318 has solved this issue.

Codecover plugin and eclipse - fatal error

I installed CodeCover to my STS so I can use it in my project. I can run code cover and get the measurments, but there is one thing that is bothering me.
If I enable code cover for a given project, everytime when I make a change to a source file and then save it I get this error message:
[FATAL]An error occured when trying to compile instrumented sources
if there are some errors reported by eclipse validator in some project file. Can I disable this feature, because it is really frustrating that I save one file and I get bit message that there are errors, even if I can see them underlined red by the editor.
This is most likely a bug, I suggest you file a bug at the project web-site, or try to fix it yourself by getting the source.

Eclipse for php on Mac OSX 10.5: "Animation Start" error

I am having a terrible time getting Eclipse with php/pdt installed on my older 2006 MacBook running 10.5.8.
I have MAMP installed and running php 5.3.5. That works fine. The zend debugger information shows up correctly in phpinfo() and I have dummy.php in the correct location. 127.0.0.1 is allowed in the config file.
I have eclipse itself installed. I also have tried "Eclipse for php Developers" v3.0.2.
Both installations return errors when I try and run or debug a script. I am trying to use Zend Debugger.
The error is:
"Animation Start has encountered a problem". An Internal error has occurred.
An internal error has occurred.
java.lang.NullPointerException
I have the php executable set as
/Applications/MAMP/bin/php5.3/bin/php (CLI)
Suggestions?
The problem with the "Animation Start has encountered a problem" error dialog doesn't have to do with the php scripts but rather is just an UI quirk/error that is irritating and is likely because of a mis-configured dock:icon property on the eclipse.ini (or whatever eclipse product the zend product uses).
Find the root executable that launches eclipse-based product.
Open up the application executable (.app) package contents
Go to the Contents/MacOS/ folder
Edit the ini file
Make sure that you have this line correctly specificed:
-Xdock:icon=../Resources/<NameofIconFile>.icns
Then restart eclipse/zend
Now you should be able to invoke scripts and not see that invalid error dialog.
You can uncheck "launch in background" in the "common" tab of debug/run configuration.
Ok, I wanted to simply comment on my "success", following gamerson's answer with a slight adaptation... But it seems like I don't have enough "rep" to do that yet, so here goes ;-)
I had this annoying issue for a little while, and also had a second copy of eclipse for java installed on my macbook. It seems like my eclipse pdt did not contain any .icns files (I did a full recursive search of the dir with "find ."... So I thought, I'll copy it from that other eclipse app I have. And I made sure the ini config file (mentioned by gamerson) had the correct path. And voila! No more of that annoying error popup in eclipse, and also the dock where I had a link to the app now has a nice icon (which before was some ugly "generic" icon with pencils and paper, that all makes sense now). Only downside is that I now have two similar dock icons (the PDT one and the Java one lol) but that is a totally minor annoyance. I guess I could "hack" my dock and give it a funky icon while at it ;-)
Thanks internets!
