Description Dave Dyer

2010-11-06 07:27:12 EDT

Build Identifier: 20100917-0705

Eclipse was behaving a little oddly, so I forced a "clean" of my
project and exited.  After, a restart crashed immediately with a
"an error occurred, see log ..." message.  I'll attach the log below.

The horrible thing about this bug (presumably due to some corruption in
the metadata) is that there is no obvious road to recovery.  After flailing
and failing for a while, I finally deleted the entire .metadata folder and
restored it from last night's backup.  I have preserved a copy of the bad
metadata, but it is large - 30mb+

1. run with my metadata
2.
3.

For this particular problem, the solution/workaround is to wipe your resources' metadata and then re-import your projects after restarting Eclipse on the same workspace. See bug 149121.

Comment 2 James Blackburn

Looks like a straightforward duplicate.

You can also try deleting the .metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.resources/.snap file rather than deleting all of .metadata.  Some projects may be missing after restart, requiring them to be re-imported.
