Answer 1

If nothing works, then try uninstalling and then reinstalling Eclipse. This is how i just fixed this problem after trying everything suggested on this forum.

Answer 2

None of the current answers worked for me. On CentOS, I had to delete the .eclipse folder from home directory. Then eclipse launched just fine!

Answer 3

I have got the same error after removing eclipse and installing it again.

Deleting the .metadata directory and running eclipse -clean does not work for me, but the following works for me:

sudo cp /usr/lib/jni/libswt-*3740.so ~/.swt/lib/linux/x86_64/

if you have a 32 bits based system do:

sudo cp /usr/lib/jni/libswt-*3740.so ~/.swt/lib/linux/x86/

Answer 4

For STS on MacOS, i followed the following steps:

1. Go to the STS directory from terminal:

   cd /Users/karan.verma/Documents/sts-bundle/STS.app/Contents/MacOS

2. Start STS

   ./STS

STS started, but all my imported projects were removed.

Answer 5

I was getting the same error while opening the eclipse. to solve that I checked the log file inside the metadata folder. where I found that there is version mismatch of Java. so I have changed the VM inside my eclipse ini file.

-vm /opt/jdk1.8.0_191/jre/bin

Hope this will also help to solve your problem.

Answer 6

I had 2 version of JDK installed - JDK 7 and JDK 8. Initially it worked even when both the versions were there and was able to use Git and Gradle and up the Spring Boot Application.

Then after system restart/sleep, workspace prompt did not come up.

Uninstalled JDK 7 and it prompts for workspace,now.
