Answer 2

Had the same issue and solved it as follows (on Linux):

1. Kill and restart Eclipse
2. Identify which project causes this issue by right-clicking each open project and select "Close Project" (the one that doesn't close is causing this behaviour)
3. Right-click the project and select "Delete" (be sure not to check the option to remove the files!)
4. Close (and kill if needed) Eclipse
5. Open the folder where the project you identified is located at and remove the (hidden) folder ".settings" and the files ".buildpath" and ".project"
6. Start Eclipse and add the project
