Eclipse hangs on loading workbench

up vote 63 down vote favorite 35

My eclipse stops loading workbench. I tried already starting with ./eclipse --clean When starting from console it throws following exception: java.lang.NullPointerException at org.eclipse.core.internal.runtime.Log.isLoggable(Log.java:101) at org.eclipse.equinox.log.internal.ExtendedLogReaderServiceFactory.safeIsLoggable(ExtendedLogReaderServiceFactory.java:57) at org.eclipse.equinox.log.internal.ExtendedLogReaderServiceFactory.logPrivileged(ExtendedLogReaderServiceFactory.java:158) at org.eclipse.equinox.log.internal.ExtendedLogReaderServiceFactory.log(ExtendedLogReaderServiceFactory.java:146) at org.eclipse.equinox.log.internal.ExtendedLogServiceFactory.log(ExtendedLogServiceFactory.java:65) at org.eclipse.equinox.log.internal.ExtendedLogServiceImpl.log(ExtendedLogServiceImpl.java:87) at org.eclipse.equinox.log.internal.LoggerImpl.log(LoggerImpl.java:54) at org.eclipse.core.internal.runtime.Log.log(Log.java:60) at org.tigris.subversion.clientadapter.javahl.Activator.isAvailable(Activator.java:92) at org.tigris.subversion.clientadapter.Activator.getAnyClientAdapter(Activator.java:81) at org.tigris.subversion.subclipse.core.SVNClientManager.getAdapter(SVNClientManager.java:145) at org.tigris.subversion.subclipse.core.SVNClientManager.getSVNClient(SVNClientManager.java:92) at org.tigris.subversion.subclipse.core.SVNProviderPlugin.getSVNClient(SVNProviderPlugin.java:425) at org.tigris.subversion.subclipse.core.status.NonRecursiveStatusUpdateStrategy.statusesToUpdate(NonRecursiveStatusUpdateStrategy.java:53) at org.tigris.subversion.subclipse.core.status.StatusCacheManager.refreshStatus(StatusCacheManager.java:273) at org.tigris.subversion.subclipse.core.resourcesListeners.FileModificationManager.refreshStatus(FileModificationManager.java:179) at org.tigris.subversion.subclipse.core.resourcesListeners.FileModificationManager.resourceChanged(FileModificationManager.java:128) at org.eclipse.core.internal.events.NotificationManager$1.run(NotificationManager.java:291) at org.eclipse.core.runtime.SafeRunner.run(SafeRunner.java:42) at org.eclipse.core.internal.events.NotificationManager.notify(NotificationManager.java:285) at org.eclipse.core.internal.events.NotificationManager.broadcastChanges(NotificationManager.java:149) at org.eclipse.core.internal.resources.Workspace.broadcastPostChange(Workspace.java:395) at org.eclipse.core.internal.resources.Workspace.endOperation(Workspace.java:1530) at org.eclipse.core.internal.resources.InternalWorkspaceJob.run(InternalWorkspaceJob.java:45) at org.eclipse.core.internal.jobs.Worker.run(Worker.java:54) It stops when loading com.android.ide.eclipse.adt Whats wrong with my workbench? eclipse osx osx-snow-leopard share | improve this question asked Jan 23 '12 at 13:01 endian 1,562 1 18 44

DISCLAIMER: THIS WILL DELETE ALL OF YOUR ECLIPSE WORKSPACE SETTINGS AND YOU WILL HAVE TO RE-IMPORT ALL YOUR PROJECTS, THERE ARE LESS DESTRUCTIVE ANSWERS HERE Try the following: Delete the .metadata folder in your local workspace (this is what worked for me). It seems that it contains a .LOCK file that if not properly closed, prevents eclipse from starting properly. On Unix based systems you can type following on command line; rm -r workspace/.metadata Delete your .eclipse directory in your home directory. Launch eclipse. If that doesn't work, Open eclipse under another user account. If it loads, you know the problem is with your account, not your eclipse installation. share | improve this answer edited Feb 28 '14 at 20:39 CQM 6,915 22 133 253 answered Oct 23 '12 at 0:22 george 1,223 1 5 6

it happened to me after i clicked File->restart by mistake.– nurne Nov 12 '12 at 14:53 For me works the 3#.– Dr.Luiji Dec 18 '12 at 9:48 51   In most cases, rm workspace/.metadata/.lock works for me. Make sure to start eclipse using ./eclipse -clean -refresh whatever you try. Thanks for teaching us mv .eclipse .eclipse.old, which did not help today. Today it helped to delete workspace/.metadata/.plugins/. All Plugins actually did work after that. Some settings gone. You can then use Import... to import all your existing projects at once. Deleting workspace/.metadata is the last choice, but works. You can keep workspace/.metadata/.mylyn if you don't want to loose your tasks.– sulai Dec 20 '12 at 12:46 The rm -r workspace/.metedata works perfectly– Miloš Jan 24 '13 at 9:04 2   Just delete the .lock file - no need to loose all of your settings!– slott Dec 12 '13 at 7:51
