I'm aware there is an identical post here but none of the proposed solutions have changed anything and they are quite old (problems to do with Java6) and seem to be referring to a bug to do with Eclipse.
My problem is when I am developing in Eclipse for RCP and RAP Developers; either making changes to java files or changing dependencies etc, Eclipse randomly hangs and then freezes. I have to force close eclipse and I get this message
Things I have tried so far:
Restarted eclipse and PC
Added the -clean command to the very beginning of the eclipse.ini file
Created a brand new work space and attempted to develop in that
I'm running on the latest version of Java (1.7.0_13) and haven't got a clue what to do next.
The problem has happened 4 or 5 times in a number of different occasions:
When I have tried to add a new package to the src folder
When I have tried to add a class to a package in the src folder
When I have tried to edit a class in a package in the src folder
When using Ctrl+Space in a class in the src folder
Any advice/tips would be greatly appreciated! Need to get this problem sorted so I can get developing for my 3rd Year University Project :)
java was started but returned exit code = -805306369
is caused by Eclipse´s corrupted workspace, I solved my problem with these 3 steps:
1) Go to your workspace and rename it.
2) Start your eclipse and by default it will create a workspace.
3) Go to File -> Switch Workspace, choose your original workspace.
After a lot of researching and filing bug reports to no avail I tried one last clear out of Java and fresh installs of Eclipse to try and fix the error and it seems to have worked.
Here is what I did:
Un-installed Eclipse for RCP and RAP developers
Un-installed Java from my PC and deleted any old Java folders that were left behind (I didn't do this in previous clear outs so maybe there was an old version of Java messing something up)
Did a fresh install of Eclipse for RCP and RAP developers and a fresh install of the latest Java
I also deleted my old PATH variable for Java in Environment Variables and put the new one at the front of all the other entries
This seems to have fixed the error for now so hopefully it won't be a short term fix
I opened another instance of eclipse and it prompted me to choose a new workspace. I did so and there it was resolved. Then I closed the new workspace and resorted back to old workspace as usual.
If using Maven projects, check pom.xml, this may corrupted. Mine resolved by fixing pom file.

I have a project that has lived in my workspace for some time. It is a git project and I use Egit and cygwin git to manage it. Not sure if that's relevant.
I'm not sure what's messing up eclipse but, in the last day, I have noticed that when I start eclipse, my project is marked as closed. When I looked at the project properties, I saw that eclipse is using the wrong path. Instead of:
C:\cygwin64\home\rcoe\git\projectname
it is now pointing at:
C:\cygwin64\home\rcoe\.gitconfig\projectname
However, my .metadata .location file (which is binary) shows that the location is correct. This file is buried in my workspace, which is located in my Windows home directory.
I tried deleting my project and re-importing it, both as a git project and as a general project, and it opens no problem. I can even close and open eclipse right away and the project stays open. However, give it a few minutes and re-open eclipse and the project now thinks it lives under a non-existent .gitconfig directory. I even tried creating a new workspace and importing my project. Same behaviour.
So, I'm not sure whether this is an Eclipse Mars bug, or Egit, or something else. Has anyone seen this kind of behaviour before?
Edit:
I hit new snags trying to share my project using Eclipse 4.4. The Luna git plugin threw errors about the plugin. So I went back to Mars (4.5) and created a new workspace. The .location file looks like this
#±‹#¼ %–磓¾ 2URI//file:/C:/cygwin64/home/rcoe/git/logprocessing ÀXûó#¼ QóŒ{»wÆ
but when I open Eclipse, the properties of the project looks like:
C:\cygwin64\home\rcoe\.gitconfig\logprocessing
I have no idea what Eclipse is using for its location, if not the .location file.
I found what looks to be a solution. I moved the .gitconfig file from my cygwin home, which is where Eclipse was configured to look for it. On starting Eclipse, I was able to import my project without error. And even though Eclipse's previous error messages implied it wanted to write to the project directory beneath a .gitconfig directory (cf. https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=473782), Eclipse did nothing of the sort.
I am now able to restart Eclipse, run my unit tests, etc., without error. I am also able to interact with my Git repo using Eclipse, even though Eclipse no longer points at my .gitconfig and so does not know my user.name or user.email properties.
On Windows, it would be best to use git for Windows instead of git in Cygwin. It comes with Git 2.4.6 released 5 days ago.
That way, Eclipse doesn't have to manage two different filesystem, and two different HOME (C:\cygwin64\home\rcoe vs. %USERPROFILE%)
I'm running Eclipse Luna on Ubuntu 12.0.4 in VirtualBox with a Windows 8 host and every once in a while, I will boot up Ubuntu and open up Eclipse to find this:
My projects should be listed in the package explorer but it's all empty and whenever I try to import the project again, it says no projects are found.
At this point, I usually go to my workspace folder and delete the .lock file and rebuild the workspace but is there an alternative to this? This error happens every ~5 times I reopen Eclipse and it has become very annoying. Any help will be appreciated!
EDIT: Okay I just tried deleting the .lock file in the .metadata folder in my workspace and I'm still getting the same error. Any suggestions?
EDIT 2: While closing my currently open tabs, I got this error. The projects that were open were Maven projects if that makes a difference.
so I am a little late for the party, but I fixed that on reimporting my projects.
Under File->Import.. you choose General->Import existing Projects into workspace. On the next page you set your workspace directory as the root directory for importing, which will give you a warning like "Some projects already exist in workspace". Ignore this and click finish.
After that all my projects where back in my workspace.
Good luck
To solve this problem, I re-created my workspace and imported my projects again.
Creating a new workspace is done via:
File > Switch Workspace
This is not an optimal solution, but until Eclipse fixes these bugs, this can save you some time trying to debug your current workspace.
I previously had a very small number of Eclipse plugins installed. So, I quickly headed to the Marketplace and installed my plugins.
And yes, Eclipse's downfall is expected. I personally find IntelliJ IDEs much better.
I try to give you a summary of what happened. [...] means that passed some time.
OS is Linux
all was working fine
[...]
every time I started eclipse I needed to switch workspace even if there was only default workspace in the list of workspaces
[...]
I added build.xml following an Ant tutorial to one of my projects
When I ran it using Ant, it ran out of memory. I turned off eclipse.
When I restarted eclipse, once switched to correct workspace each of my open files reported:
Plug-in org.eclipse.jdt.ui was unable to load class org.eclipse.jdt.internal.ui.javaeditor.CompilationUnitEditor.
package explorer says: Plug-in org.eclipse.jdt.ui was unable to load class org.eclipse.jdt.internal.ui.packageview.PackageExplorerPart.
What's happened? How can I restore it?
I resolved the problem by manually removing build.xml from project folder and restarting eclipse. Hope this helps.
EDIT: after restarting Linux the problem reappeared.
WORKAROUND: The problem seems to happen after an incorrect shutdown. I found this workaround:
close eclipse
restart OS (not sure if is needed)
manually cut the folder of the project opened in eclipse when incorrect shutdown happened and temporary past it outside workspace (i.e. on desktop)
restart eclipse
close eclipse
restore the project folder into workspace
restart eclipse
I answered a similar problem but in Windows in this Question: "Plug-in org.eclipse.jdt.ui was unable to load class org.eclipse.jdt.internal.ui.packageview.PackageExplorerPart." issue in adt ( v22.6.2)
Maybe this will help others.
I launched Eclipse earlier to jot down a snippet and was faced with the following as an error when I tried to run a fresh project:
An internal error occurred during: "Compute launch button tooltip".
That popup window shows as soon as I mouse-over the run icon in the top bar, or if I right click on the class in the explorer window and select any of the run/debug options.
After doing some research on the error, I see several people who posted similar messages but they all have been fresh installs of Eclipse. So note that this is not a fresh install, and that Eclipse was working fine earlier today. Also note that not only does my new project not run (with the normal main method), but projects I was running earlier have all stopped working with the same error.
Finally, also be aware that after seeing other people's suggestions on fixing this, one specifically said to select run configurations from the top of the page run menu. When I selected run configurations from this dropdown, I got the following message:
Exception occurred creating launch configuration tabs
Reason: Plug-in org.eclipse.jdt.debug.ui was unable to load class org.eclipse.jdt.internal.debug.ui.launcher.LocalJavaApplicationTabGroup
After that message, the run window opens but all of the tabs are missing. Like where you can set the display width and height, and the other tabs, they are all missing from the window now.
I was using Eclipse trouble free earlier today and I am sure no updates took place between when Eclipse was working and now. My question is of multiple parts: What is wrong in a nutshell? What could have caused this?
Got this from another site of some guy who got this same error after upgrading.
Worked for me as well.
Apparently putting the following line in your eclipse.ini helps:
-Dcom.ibm.icu.util.TimeZone.DefaultTimeZoneType=ICU
Try setting the launch properties in:
Window>Preferences>Run/Debug(Expand)>Launching(Click)
Under launch Operations menu set it to:
Always launch the previously launched application
Click:
Apply>Ok
I never found out what went wrong, but a reinstall of eclipse fixed it. All projects survived seemingly undamaged.
Thanks for the reply on the .ini but that did no good.
I had same error today - in an eclipse installation (Juno SR2 64bit) that has been running fine for months.
0: There were no changes on svn for my projects since yesterday (when it was running fine).
1: I restored the workspace from a 'Windows 7 -> Properties -> previous copy' backup. This failed because the directory structure of the '.metadata' contains folders with a deeper structure than is supported.
2: I restored the workspace from a overnight archive (gzipped so file depth is not an issue).
This had no effect.
3: I tried to restore the eclipse installation directory (which seems to be updated an awful lot) from a 'Windows 7 -> Properties -> previous copy' backup. Again this failed - because of folder-depth issues (Note: it is installed in the root directory of my disk - so there is actually no way to use a restore on this installation!)
4: Had to delete the .metadata from my workspace and reinstall eclipse (and all the additional plugins), and re-import my projects, and setup all the servers, and android, etc, which took many hours.
The moral of the story? Backup both your workspace AND the eclipse installation every night manually. Windows Restore will NOT save you. Backing up your workspace is NOT enough.
I had the same problem using eclipse mars. I cleared the folder .recommenders\index
And that solved my issue.
Hope it helps.
incase you are having the eclipse files which you have downloaded from the official site .Just extract those file in the same folder where your previous eclipse was installed and select replace all.
best solution
I also encountered this issue, the reason why this issue occurred on my project was due to I was missing the JRE System Library in the root folder of my project.
To solve this issue, make sure you have the libraries like JRE System Libraries on the root folder of your project.
I am running Eclipse Galileo on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS.
Ubuntu crashed on me today, and after rebooting, I found that Eclipse has completely lost the Java Perspective (it's like the perspective and all associated views never existed) and the .metadata dir in my workspace is empty except for version.ini.
What's up with that?
Why did it happen?
How can I prevent it?
How can I recover from it?
I ran into an issue - When I installed C/C++ and some collaboration projects (not sure which one), I ran into the same issue. I did the eclipse clean and even tried a new workspace. No help. Ran eclipse -debug -console, found that there were some configurations loaded from ~/.eclipse.
Just renamed that directory and restarted and got back all the perspectives!
First I would try to create a new workspace, and see whether there are the missing elements present. If the other workspace is working correctly, then your original workspace got corrupted.
You can import all projects to the new workspace, and try to use it (although this way you may lose the global settings, that are stored in your old workspace, but at least all your projects and project-specific settings are intact).
On the other hand, if the new workspace also does not work, then you could try launching eclipse with the -clean parameter, or uninstalling and reinstalling it.
