Answer 3

I had a similar problem today where an update to Eclipse caused Eclipse to stop working, but found a different solution.

In my case I applied some reccomended updates, but the Eclipse restart failed. Looking in the log file, I could see that Eclipse would not start because of a new error.

I read around (including this question, and the comment from @Denis ).

This lead me to running

eclipse -clean 

This took longer than usual to start, but it did start, and I have been able to restart once more, so I think I am up and running once more.
