Description Nate Parsons CLA Friend 2009-09-16 22:44:38 EDT 
User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1.3) Gecko/20090824 Firefox/3.5.3 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)
Build Identifier: M20090211-1700 and the latest from eclipse.org/downloads

This started happening on a desktop computer and a laptop in the lab. Not sure what the cause is. When I open eclipse from the icon or command line, the splash screen displays for an instant, then disappears. 

I went to eclipse.org/downloads about an hour ago, and downloaded whatever version was there, and overwrote my old session, but no change. I'm not sure what exact build the new version is, because I can't get any output (even with the -consoleLog flag).

I'm seeing this same exception in a number of closed bugs, but they all seem to have different symptoms.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Sorry I'm not sure what the exact sequence of events was. Maybe an improper shutdown of the computer while eclipse was running? 

1.
2.
3.

   I could see at least ten different packages there. Which one you downloaded? Does this happens on a fresh install and on a new workspace?
Comment 2 Nate Parsons CLA Friend 2009-09-17 01:09:22 EDT 
Sorry for not being specific. It was from this link: http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/technology/epp/downloads/release/galileo/R/eclipse-java-galileo-win32.zip

Not sure which mirror.

I did a fresh install, if by that you mean
1. Download
2. Unzip
3. Copy "eclipse" folder to "C:\Program Files" (overwriting the old "C:\Program Files\eclipse"

Not sure about the workspace, either, because before I didn't have a default workspace, and the program doesn't run long enough to change it.

   Rename the C:\Program Files\eclipse folder to something else before Step 3 and try. There might be some old files left when overwriting (esp the configuration folder).

    Use -data to specify a new workspace.
Comment 4 Nate Parsons CLA Friend 2009-09-17 01:31:53 EDT 
Thanks, I'll try again tomorrow when I'm at the problematic computers.
Comment 5 Nate Parsons CLA Friend 2009-09-17 12:33:56 EDT 
Sorry, I think I marked the version wrong. Maybe I should try v 4.0? How can I do that?

So, I went a little farther than your advice, and deleted C:\Program Files\eclipse and the .eclipse folder in my home directory. But, no change.

I also added -data <loc>, but no change (it doesn't create any folders or files in the specified workspace). I did start to notice that -consoleLog was opening a separate console, and then that console disappeared with the splash screen.  Is there any way to keep that console open? I think it may be displaying some useful information.

Also, I'm starting to think that the log file I posted is irrelevant. No logs are being generated now (even w/o -consoleLog) and now that I look at it, the timestamps are from a few hours before this problem started (around the time this laptop's battery died - but again, a desktop has this same problem (haven't tried a completely fresh eclipse install there, though)
Comment 6 Remy Suen CLA Friend 2009-09-18 19:44:30 EDT 
Nate, where is your JRE installed? Can you invoke 'java' from the command prompt? What is its output?
Comment 7 Nate Parsons CLA Friend 2009-09-19 16:14:18 EDT 
Thank you so much! Somehow, the JVM couldn't find java.lang.Object. Reinstalling java and my jdk fixed the problem on both machines.
