Eclipse shows splash screen and closes. How to fix?

Today I restarted my machine, and Eclipse (3.5, downloaded recently) shows a strange behaviour:

  • shows splash screen for less than a sec
  • quits

This is in 100% of the cases, so I can’t start Eclipse at all.

Where can I find logs about this?

I deleted all eclipse resources and re-unzipped it. Same thing.

I have enough memory (IntelliJ runs fine), and my anti-virus software doesn’t show any activity related to closing eclipse.

Any ideas what might have caused this?

Answer

one thing that i’ve come up with is deleting the folder:

workspace/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.e4.workbench"

where workspace is your eclipse workspace directory
