Starting Eclipse

Here are some error messages or situations you may have encountered, with suggested workarounds or solutions.

• An error has occured. See the log file H:\.eclipse_ws\.metadata\.log

  You may find a variety of errors in that log file. It is possible that something corrupted the configurations and information in the .metadata directory, or an older version of some plugin is no longer compatible with the current version.

  Here is a possible workaround:

  1. Open a command shell -- click on Start, then Run, and enter:

         cmd
         

  2. Change to the .eclipse_ws directory

         cd /d H:\.eclipse_ws
         

  3. Rename the .metadata directory

         move .metadata .metadata.old
         

  4. Start Eclipse

     You won't see your old projects any more, but they are still in . Using the Eclipse File menu, import the projects into Eclipse.

  5. End Eclipse when finished.

     This will save your configuration changes to the .metadata folder.
