STS launch issue on Mac - eclipse

I started STS today and an error alert popped up asking me to look at the error log under /Users/salman/springsource/sts-2.6.0.RELEASE/configuration. That log file had the following stacktrace:

I tried the few solutions listed on this thread Eclipse freezing at startup - before loading workspace but nothing worked.
While I go and try a few different things and checkout a few more blog posts. I wouldn't mind getting a quick reply here.
EDIT:
Here's my STS.ini. Does this make any sense kadaj?
-startup
../../../plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.1.1.R36x_v20101122_1400.jar
--launcher.library

-Dorg.eclipse.swt.internal.carbon.smallFonts

I was able to resolve it by removing the 'org.eclipse.osgi' folder under configuration and relaunching STS. Got a fresh build of this bundle in configuration folder. I think that is what was corrupted.

Follow the mentioned steps
Open Application
Locate STS
Right click and open package contents
navigate to eclipse folder
open sts.ini
Add -Xss128m -Xmn1024m

Eclipse does not restart in Ubuntu

I have Ubuntu 16.04 and Eclipse Oxygen 3.A installed on my machine. The Eclipse restart does not work. Eclipse closes but does not start again neither by 'Restart' menu nor if an application requires a restart.
Update: I cleared .metadata/.log and then restarted Eclipse from the menu. As usual Eclipse closed down but did not start again. I had to start it by clicking on the icon on my taskbar. Below is the logs generated when I started Eclipse.

The issue was that the path set for --launcher.library argument in eclipse.ini file was incorrect. I found it out by comparing the ini files from another installation. The path for this argument was set as a relative path which I replaced with an absolute path as below.

Any and all help would greatly be appreciated, thanks!
It looks like you are using an old version of Eclipse with Java 9. This old version of Eclipse does not understand Java 9 and fails to start. You will have to change to Java 8 to run this version of Eclipse.
Eclipse Oxygen.1a (4.7.1a) due for release on 11 October (2017) is the first release of Eclipse that fully supports Java 9.

I've tried:
deleting workspace/.metadata/.lock
delete the file WORKSPACE/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.resources/.snap
But didn't solve this problem.
Solved when I delete ".\workspace.metadata.plugins\org.eclipse.e4.workbench" folder.
Follow this.
Try to start with an empty workspace or a fresh Eclipse installation. If they work, you can reimport the contents of your workspace and transfer the installed plugins (File > Export... > Installed Software Items, then Import).
Just do this
rm -fr /worksapce/.metadata/.plugins/or.eclipse.e4.workbench/workbench.xmi
and then restart eclipse.
Navigate to your Java Workspace Folder --> .metadata --> .plugins --> org.eclipse.e4.workbench.... delete this folder.. it works for me, hopefully it will also work for you.
Step 1: Goto cd /opt/eclipse/
Step 2: then vim eclipse.ini
Step 3: Add this line at the end of the file
"-Dorg.eclipse.swt.internal.gtk.cairoGraphics=false"
Step 4: ./eclipse
Try the above 4 steps. Issue will be resolved for eclipse in linux environment

Eclipse on macosx: org.osgi.service.application.ApplicationException: No application id has been found

I had a problem on my macbook pro and a fresh installation of eclipse.

Problem: Starting eclipse Helios does not work. A pop up window appears and suggests to look into the log file /Applications/eclipse/configuration/<xyz>.log which contains:

Remove the files /Application/eclipse/configuration/org.eclipse.core.runtime/.extraData.9 and /Application/eclipse/configuration/org.eclipse.core.runtime/.mainData.9
Remove any XML parser you have in your shared library folder. In my case I had xercesImpl.jar in /Library/Java/Extensions. Just to be sure, I moved all the content of the directory in /tmp
Restart eclipse
Breath...it should work now!
Move again your libraries in /Library/Java/Extensions
That's all. Hope this can help you!

This may be related to bug 285743: as explained in this thread
What happens is that P2 fails to correctly setup osgi.install.area, because it doesn't strip 'plugins' part from the path. I saw this happen when eclipse.ini file in target directory didn't have '-startup' option in it.
Take a look into your eclipse.ini file if it contains -startup option like this:
-startup
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.0.101.R34x_v20080819.jar
