Does Eclipse have any persistent settings (that can get corrupted).
All of sudden my eclipse is doing strange things — java programs won’t run (though I can run them fine from the command line).
If there is such a things — how do I purge it?

Yes, such things can indeed happen (I just had a screwed up workspace because I ran out of disk space).
In the workspace, look for the
'.metadata'folder. Tread carefully, but e.g. usually all the plugin-local configs in'.plugins'can safely be removed. You’ll just loose some settings.Hope it helps!
PS: By the way, for your concrete problem, what’s the actual error you are getting?
