Today my Eclipse Galileo hung at start up. After trying some tricks such as eclipse -clean, or eclipse -debug -console, searching for hints in the log files, removing xulrunner from the java.library.path environment, deleting some of the most recent history files and so on I found the solution. In your workspace directory perform the following steps:
- cd .metadata/.plugins
- mv org.eclipse.core.resources org.eclipse.core.resources.bak
- Start eclipse. (It should show an error message or an empty workspace because no project is found.)
- Close all open editors tabs.
- Exit eclipse.
- rm -rf org.eclipse.core.resources (Delete the newly created directory.)
- mv org.eclipse.core.resources.bak/ org.eclipse.core.resources (Restore the original directory.)
- Start eclipse and start working. :-)
Great !!!!!
Thanks a lot, you save me !
Too bad, only the first part works. When I restore org.eclipse.core.resources.bak, the problem reappeare :((

But I finaly found he solution : instead of restore ressource.bak, you have to reimport your projects in eclipse from the workspace adn then it works :-)
Wow, worked!
Thanks, buddy!
Great! Save me also!! :-)))))))))))))
Thanks, your trick helped me once.
This morning I had the same issue, and renaming the whole org.eclipse.core.resources folder didn’t do anything.
By trial and error, I just deleted the org.eclipse.core.resources/.history folder and it worked.
Corrupt history I suppose.
Great one!! thanks
Dude, it works even on indigo. Thanks a bunch!
It worked !! Awesome!! Thanks a lot ! I was about to reinstall it.

So this didn’t work for me in all parts but it helped. What I needed to do in my case was removing a “.snap” file from the original org.eclipse.core.resource and also removing the .history directory completely.
The “.snap” file is something like a lock file that was messing with eclipse when it was trying to boot.
this was a great help thanks
WTF!!!
Awesome !!!
You own me !!!
Congrats!!!!!
I also had simillar problem. which fixed issue. Thank you so much!!
Thanks you! Deleting the org.eclipse.core.resources/.snap file fixed my issue. It started after I did a hard reboot from a frozen PC.
THAAAANNK you, It worked for me !
It works for me perfectly. Even verified after restart. Problem does not reappear
Solution verified on
eclipse 3.5.0
Windows XP
greate………..
thank you very much:)
Muchas gracias!
cool tip :)
For me it worked when I used -clean in step 3. Saved me hours ! Thanx a lot !

Thank you for sharing this helpful tip!
Thank you very much! Saeed’s solution was what worked completely for me. Thanks Dared. I owe you pizza.
great man !!!!…. thanx a ton
It worked for Juno as well.
Thanks for the tip.
For my case, I did it by deleting all the *.snap files from the org.eclipse.core.resources org.eclipse.core.resources directory and its sub directories (By searching for *.snap files).
This also worked for me on Juno
It took a while before it finally worked but work it did after a few tinkering. May have to do with individual programs or something.
This is one of my fav blog articles. Useful, follow step by step, and it works. Thanks
Thanks a million, nothing else worked during the last hour (Came here via StackOverflow)
Thanks So Much!!!!
You are Awesome!
Thanks , works like a charm !
Great!
Thanks,
Thank you all,
For me it worked like below:
Set Java JDK path in command prompt and execute eclipse -clean on eclipse installation directory.
Worked for me, thanks a lot.
Worked like a charm! Thanks!
Worked for me! No other solution working but this. Thanks dude!!!
It is unbelievable, that this is still a solution for the same problem in Eclipse Juno.
Thank you, half of your steps worked for me and showed me how to proceed.
Restoring org.eclipse.core.resources didn’t work, but I realized there was one bugged project inside in org.eclipse.core.resources/.projects folder (the last one I was throwing stuff into).
I deleted it and everything went back to normal.
I have installed Eclipse through direct download as well as Software Centre but on ubuntu 12.04 LTS they both seem to hang on splash screen unless the ~/workspace directory is deleted.
I found that by clicking on the splash screen and then pressing Enter it launches perfectly fine even without removing the ~/workspace directory!!
hi!!
thnk so much..u saved my time .. thnk u so much again
