eclipse won't load workspace

Question

I was working in eclipse, and it got stuck, and next it refused to load my usual workspace folder

this is what the logfile shows

how can i load this folder again

Answer 1

I had the same problem. Deleting .metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.e4.workbench/workbench.xmi worked. I am not sure of the root cause, though.

OR

Move the contents of "plugins" folder to some other folder and restart eclipse. Eclipse will add all these plugins after restart. Replace the new folders with the copied folders.
