CDT An internal error occurred during: "Setting up indexer"

Question

I use Eclipse with CDT to build C++ code. After loading my workspace I get the following message:

An internal error occurred during: "Setting up indexer".

Here is the log:

How can I fix/reset this ?

Deleting the *.pdom files from .metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.cdt.core/ solved the problem
