Comments on: Eclipse Freezing on Start http://dev.zhourenjian.com/blog/2007/11/07/eclipse-freezing-on-start.html Zhou Renjian's Development Blog Wed, 07 Jan 2009 09:15:43 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5 By: rehevkor5 http://dev.zhourenjian.com/blog/2007/11/07/eclipse-freezing-on-start.html#comment-476 rehevkor5 Wed, 30 Jan 2008 21:30:19 +0000 http://dev.zhourenjian.com/blog/2007/11/07/eclipse-freezing-on-start.html#comment-476 I am having the same problem, but neither of those solutions worked for me unfortunately. Removing .safetable actually created more problems, I think because I had Aptana RadRails installed. I ended up zipping up and deleting the entire contents of workspace/.metadata Eclipse loaded ok, but now I have to re-create all my projects and run configurations :( I believe my problem began with the following Exception from .metadata/.log !ENTRY org.eclipse.ui 4 0 2008-01-30 13:35:33.621 !MESSAGE Unhandled event loop exception !STACK 0 org.eclipse.swt.SWTException: Failed to execute runnable
