Build Identifier: Eclipse Helios 3.6 IDE for Java EE Developers I went through the Eclipse wizard to find and install the GWT plugin, and my workspace locked after I selected the SDK and plugins and clicked "Next". After waiting 20 minutes or so, I killed it. Eclipse would not come up again. The splash screen flashes, then dies. Attempted work-arounds: - deleting and re-downloading eclipse - deleting the ".metadata\.lock" file(s) - zipping up all workspaces and deleting dirs - disabling the splash screen with "-noSplash" in eclipse.ini - re-starting my machine a bunch Any help would be greatly appreciated. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Click on the eclipse icon to start eclipse 2. Watch the splash screen flash and disappear 3. Observe that eclipse never opened
What VM are you using ? Are you using a 32bits or 64bits VM ? Anything in the .log file in the .metadata folder ? What is your eclipse.ini file ? Did you try to run the eclipsec.exe executable ?

Move to Platform/Runtime
I have resolved the issue. I was using the bad JDK Update #21. I had gone through all of the steps described to fix this issue (got latest JDK, and implemented all suggested work-arounds) and continued to have the same problem with eclipse crashing at startup. A copy of the bad #21 update had somehow been made, and moved to a dir under C:\WINDOWS\, where it was blocking the latest update from being utilized on my path.
