Eclipse won't launch
Eclipse has recently stopped working on my computer. I don't receive any error messages, double clicking on the shortcut does nothing. My OS is Windows 8.1 and my eclipse.ini file contains:
-startup
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.3.0.v20130327-1440.jar
--launcher.library
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.win32.win32.x86_64_1.1.200.v20140116-2212
-product
org.eclipse.epp.package.standard.product
--launcher.defaultAction
openFile
--launcher.XXMaxPermSize
256M
-showsplash
org.eclipse.platform
--launcher.XXMaxPermSize
256m
--launcher.defaultAction
openFile
--launcher.appendVmargs
-vmargs
-Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.6
-Xms40m
-Xmx512m

Maybe it's because your eclipse can't run on java 8. (What's your eclipse version?) Try uninstalling java 8 to test that or just alter the PATH to point to java 7.

Please try cleaning your Eclipse install with the -clean parameter.
Open a console in your Eclipse directory, and run the following:
eclipse.exe -clean
After running this, relaunch Eclipse normally.
You have also mentioned that you just installed Netbeans, this install may have updated your Java install, please also check your envirnomental variables for validity.
Your JRE / JDK directory should both be set in JAVA_HOME and your PATH variable. What evrsion of Eclipse are you running? (Current is Luna)

Have you alt-tabbed often enough ? if eclipse is in the background and not focused the splash screen with the eclipse logo can hide the "choose-workspace-dialog"
eclipse won't do anything until you have choosen a workspace
