I've tried:

• deleting workspace/.metadata/.lock
• delete the file WORKSPACE/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.resources/.snap

But didn't solve this problem.

Answer 1

Solved when I delete ".\workspace.metadata.plugins\org.eclipse.e4.workbench" folder. Follow this.

Answer 2

Try to start with an empty workspace or a fresh Eclipse installation. If they work, you can reimport the contents of your workspace and transfer the installed plugins (File > Export... > Installed Software Items, then Import).

Answer 3

Just do this

rm -fr /worksapce/.metadata/.plugins/or.eclipse.e4.workbench/workbench.xmi

and then restart eclipse.
