Eclipse Kepler Crashes on Start up only shows splash screen

I currently am using Eclipse Kepler on Windows 7. Previously I could get to the workspace screen to apply which workspace I wanted to use but for some reason as I start Eclipse I now get the Kepler's spash screen for maybe a 10th of a second and the application crashes. I search the Eclipse folder for logs to determine what was the problem but I did not find and logs. Has anyone experienced issue like this? I would really appreciate any help.

Both files

*workspace/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.resources/1300.snap

workspace/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.m2e.core/nexus/26522e0d83a422eed93329ece7565cfc/_58.cfs*

had each several 100MB of size, after deleting those eclipse started again.

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.
