Newbie to StackOverflow as a poster, so please let me know if I violate conventions. I have searched the forums, but can’t find any help for my problems, so here goes…
I’m using Repast Simphony (2.0 version) and have had a horrible Eclipse crash which means that Eclipse now refuses to open at all. The sequence of events as I remember was this:
- I noticed that a particular package was no longer showing in the Eclipse Package Explorer perspective window (on the left hand side of the main window.
- I tried closing and re-opening the perspectives, but no joy.
- I tried the “close all perspectives” option on the “window” menu, assuming that I could then re-open perspectives from scratch.
- Couldn’t re-open perspectives, so I closed the application.
- Eclipse will no longer open at all.
- Checked the log file, has an exception which is copied at the end of the post.
I’d be grateful for any help on how I can get Eclipse opening again, with my projects intact.

You may try moving /.metadata/plugins/org.eclipse.ui.workbench/workbench.xml to a safe location (just in case) and start Eclipse. The workbench layout should be rebuilt with default settings then.
