Eclipse randomly stopped starting

I've been using Eclipse a lot recently, and haven't had any problems with it. Last night, I was working on it perfectly fine. However, this morning, whenever I load it up, the program stops working half way the loading splash screen (before the actual workspace opens up). The information says "Loading Workbench" and just stays there forever. When I click on it multiple times, I get a message saying that Java(TM) Platform SE binary is not responding.

Google hasn't been a ton of help, and seems to just give a lot of responses about Minecraft. I'm slightly confused as to where I need to start looking, since nothing had changed since I successfully used it last. No updates to Java or Eclipse or anything else. Thanks for the help, and let me know if you need any more information!

I was actually able to fix it by just renaming my WorkSpace to WorkSpace1. Apparently it got corrupted somehow, and with the rename Eclipse was able to recreate a new one. Here's the link that helped me out:
