Eclipse not responding

Question

Was working fine yesterday, overnight Windows 7 rebooted, now Eclipse won't finish loading - spinner displayed with "Eclipse SDK (Not Responding)" Dialog "User Operation is Waiting" for "Building workspace" to complete. Android SDK Content Loader remains at 0% I have tried:

• eclipse - clean delete C:\Program Files\eclipse\configuration.settings\org.eclipse.ui.ide.prefs

Here's the top of the Log file, which I cannot interpret. Any help would be gratefully received.

Answer 1

In the .metadata.plugins directory, search for files with "snap" in the name (e.g. .snap, .markers.snap, .syncinfo.snap, etc.). When I stopped Eclipse and deleted all of these files, Eclipse then started normally on restart.

Answer 2

If there is a project you imported externally(outside of Workspace), that may cause this problem. If you can access Eclipse try to remove it. If you are getting the 'No responding at startup', then go delete the file at source.

This will solve the problem.

Answer 3

My solution, after spending more than a day messing around searching for suggestions and trying things was as follows:

• Close Eclipse.
• with WIndows Explorer, make a copy of copy the workspace folder (not used, but just in case!)
• In the workspace folder, delete the .metadata folder
• Re-start Eclipse (now has no projects)
• Import the projects one by one with file->Import->General->"Existing Projects Into Workspace (NOT Android->"Existing Android Code into Workspace"). You can import the projects from the existing workspace folder.

I had a the Google Maps library, "google-play-services_lib" which I imported as Android->"Existing Android Code into Workspace"
It's now all back up and running.
I can only assume that something in the .metadata labyrintyh (35 Mb of obscure folders and files!) became corrupted during the overnight Windows reboot to install M$ updates.

Answer 4

The same thing happened to me when I updated the Android SDK-Tools a couple of days ago. I ended up downloading Eclipse again and it worked perfectly.
