Eclipse hangs on loading workbench

Question

My eclipse stops loading workbench. I tried already starting with ./eclipse --clean

When starting from console it throws following exception:

java.lang         


        

Answer 1

Following procedure worked on my MacOS (Mavericks) and Eclipse Luna 4.4.1:

Delete .snap file under the path "workspaceFolder".metadata.plugins\org.eclipse.core.resources\

If you don't know how to navigate to this folder on Mac, press Cmd + Shift + G (Go to the folder) and type the full address you want to navigate for.
