Eclipse won’t start but no error is shown

by

It seems to fail when trying to restore the workspace.

Try:

  1. Open a new workspace. If it has been set to use a default, go to
    <Eclipse_root_dir>\configuration\.settings\org.eclipse.ui.ide.prefs and set SHOW_WORKSPACE_SELECTION_DIALOG to true

  2. Try deleting <workspace>/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.resources/.snap

  3. As suggested in a comment: If using Eclipse 4, you may have to delete the file .metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.e4.workbench/workbench.xmi aswell.
