RE: [eclipse-dev] HELP! Eclipse won't re-start after crash

[Nick_Edgar@xxxxxxx]

These are merely warnings that the most recently used file list could not 
restore some entries.
This is a problem we need to look into, but this would not cause Eclipse 
to fail to start.
Is there anything else besides these in the .log?

You could try deleting the workbench.xml file under 
.metadata/plugins/org.eclipse.ui.
This wipes out the UI state, but leaves all your workspace content.
Let me know if this lets you restart, since this would imply a failure in 
the UI restore code.

Sorry. Yes, that's it.

this entry is repeated over and over.  I can't seem to find the location 
of the mru list or I would delete it. 
<log-entry date="Thu May 09 13:44:28 EDT 2002"> 
  <status 
     plugin-id="org.eclipse.core.resources" 
     severity="INFO" 
     message="Unable to restore mru list - cannot instantiate input 
element: org.eclipse.ui.part.FileEditorInputFactory"
     code="4"> 
  </status> 
</log-entry> 

Thanks, 
Scott

Scott, we'll need a bit more information to go on. 
First of all, when you say "most recent stable", do you mean the 4/16 M5 
build? 
Next question ... were you able to capture any information after the crash 
(content of .metadata/.log, anything on the console). 
In the M5 build there is a file install/platform.cfg. If you hit this 
problem again, try deleting it and restart ... see if it helps. 
Without having more to go on it is hard to say what is causing this. I 
would suggest that if this happens again, open a defect in bugzilla, 
attaching .metadata/.log and install/platform.cfg to the defect, and 
describe what you were doing when you crashed. Open it againsts "platfrom" 
project, "update" component and we'll try to diagnose it from there.

version: most recent STABLE release. 
OS: Win2k 
When eclipse crashes, it will not restart and requires a re-install and 
re-creation of all of the projects.  This has happened to multiple 
developers in our office multiple times.  Is there anyway to fix this 
without a complete scratch reload??? 
Thanks, 
Scott
