Eclipse shuts dows immediately every time I run it after installing Team Explorer Everywhere

Question

After installing Team Explorer Everywhere plugin Eclipse oxygen shuts dows right after it has been loaded. I have JRE installed version 1.8.0_131. Windows 7 64 OS, 2 GB of RAM. I have installed GIT before that and appended to the path of system variables C:\Program Files\Git\cmd. I also have HOME environment variable set with the variable value C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_131. Once Eclipse wrote the following text in .log:

!ENTRY org.eclipse.osgi 2 0 2017-07-14 10:14:17.583
!MESSAGE While loading class "com.microsoft.tfs.client.eclipse.util.TeamUtils", thread "Thread[Worker-5,5,main]" timed out waiting (5248ms) for thread "Thread[Worker-3,5,main]" to finish starting bundle "com.microsoft.tfs.client.eclipse_14.119.2.201706191916 [552]". To avoid deadlock, thread "Thread[Worker-5,5,main]" is proceeding but "com.microsoft.tfs.client.eclipse.util.TeamUtils" may not be fully initialized.

Answer 1

Please try below ways to fix that:

• Remove the .Lock file from your workspace .metadata folder.

• Remove the .fileTableLock file under

  C:\Users{your account}\eclipse\java-neon\eclipse\configuration\org.eclipse.osgi.manager

• Set the following flag in your eclipse.ini (normally should be under C:\Users{your account}\eclipse\java-neon\eclipse) file to increase the osgi timeout value from 5 seconds to 2 minutes to prevent osgi from timing out out too quickly.

  -Dequinox.statechange.timeout=120000

• Set the following flat in your eclipse.ini file to ignore checking the configuration.

  -Dosgi.checkConfiguration=false

• Go to your workspace directory and perform the following steps:

  1. Naviagate to .metadata/.plugins

  2. Rename org.eclipse.core.resources to org.eclipse.core.resources.bak. (backup it)

  3. Start eclipse. (It should show an error message or an empty workspace because no project is found.)

  4. Close all open editors tabs.

  5. Exit eclipse.
  6. Delete org.eclipse.core.resources (Delete the newly created directory.)
  7. Rename org.eclipse.core.resources.bak back to org.eclipse.core.resources (Restore the original directory.)
  8. Start eclipse and start working.
