1. Start in a new workspace.
2. Close the 'Welcome' screen.
3. Window > Save Perspective As... > Some name > OK
4. Window > New Window
5. Nothing happens, the error is logged, check the 'Error Log' view.
6. Close your window.
7. Eclipse will _not_ prompt you.
8. Check your processes, Eclipse is actually still running. If you try to run Eclipse again it will tell you the workspace is still in use.

Remy, is this 3.x or 4.x (or both), the 'Close Welcome...' is leading me to believe it's 3.x...

This is a 3.x problem. We need code in our workbench window creation to ensure that exceptions do not cause it to remain in our list of opened workbench windows.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet. As such, we're closing this bug.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it and reopen this bug. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
