Eclipse indigo won’t start in Windows 7 (first launch), the splash screen appears, stays there and nothing happens afterwards.

So far I tried the following:

  • reinstall Java 6
  • Add vm parameter to eclipse.ini (to the right javaw.exe path). In this case no splash screen and eclipse.exe and javaw.exe are available in Taskmanager.
  • launch eclipsec.exe instead of eclipse.exe
  • launch eclipse.exe -clean
  • increase -Xmx384m parameter
  • launch eclipse.exe in Admin Mode

No luck

My config:

  • Eclipse Indigo Java Edition (32bits)
  • Windows 7 (32bits)

Any help would be appreciated

    Well something i didn’t consider was the performance of the computer i was trying to start eclipse on.

    The %TEMP% directory was full (300k+ files) and no java program could start as it takes a lot of time to access temporary files folder.

    If i waited longer It might have started after 30-40min.

    Now as i used the Disk Clean utility, eclipse starts normally in reasonable time.
