Eclipse internal error while initializing Java tooling

Question

I am getting errors from Eclipse Indigo running on Windows 7 Ultimate. For each of the following items:

Android SDK content loader
Building workspace
Initial         


        

Answer 1

I faced the same issue. But changing two configuration in eclipse.ini resolved my issue.

-Xms512m to -Xms1024m and -Xmx1024m to -Xmx2048m

Answer 2

My issue was caused by some old Java projects using an old JRE System Library, so all I had to do was remove the old library and add the new one by right clicking the project -> Properties -> Java Build Path -> Libraries -> Add Library.

Answer 3

Close all open projects and exit Eclipse. Now you can open Eclipse without getting the error. Start opening your projects one by one to find which one causes the problem. This is most likely because you deleted a Device profile inside the AVD manager.

Or you can start working on a new workspace, (i.e. change your workspace), then try to import your project from the old workspace

Answer 4

Just delete the .metadata on workspace, and restart IDE and configure it again properly

Answer 5

My problem too got fixed which i was getting on STS, just closed all the project's including the server on the project explorer, restarted ide, that's it.

Answer 6

check the Eclipse log (the intelligently named ".log" file in your workspace .metadata folder) and check for the complete stacktrace. In my case it was caused at method "org.eclipse.m2e.jdt.internal.MavenClasspathVariableInitializer.initialize(MavenClasspathVariableInitializer.java:30)" which lead to a never fixed "race condition during startup" bug. I would really recommend dumping Eclipse in favor of a more serious IDE; like IntelliJ or Netbeans. Using Eclipse means that you will invest 40-50% of your time trying to work around this kind of bugs, instead of being productive.
