how can i load this folder again

Answer 1

Just linking the solution provided by Fredrik in the thread: eclipse won't start but no error is shown

"It seems to fail when trying to restore the workspace.

Try:

Open a new workspace. If it has been set to use a default, go to \configuration.settings\org.eclipse.ui.ide.prefs and set SHOW_WORKSPACE_SELECTION_DIALOG to true

Try deleting /.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.resources/.snap

As suggested in a comment: If using Eclipse 4, you may have to delete the file .metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.e4.workbench/workbench.xmi aswell."
