I also tried the eclipse.exe -clean to launch it but getting same error.

Answer 1

Probably using the wrong update site had caused this issue. But to resolve this issue I manually deleted all the plug-ins named org.eclipse.e4.tools*.*.jar from the plugins directory of eclipse. Then I launched the eclipse with -clean option and it was launched without the error that I was getting earlier.
