I’m having weird startup issues as well, and was giving the same “advice” about the workspace folder possibly being the culprit.
In my case a fresh install of MyEclipse crashes when started.
No ideas what to try.
When it does “start” (after multiple, multiple) attempts, it takes over 4 minutes to get to the point where it’s “Loading the Workspace”.
I have a 2 GB memory machine, dual core, where 6.0 ran fine. I have about 1 GB free memory.
Totally confused what’s wrong with this product…
