Hi,

I have installed eclipse 4.0 on my system as part of IBM Websphere Application Studio Developer 5.1.2 and it is falling over when try to load it. The package did work for a few days and then started getting the ‘Problems during startup. Check the “.log” file in the “.metadata folder’ error message. I have tried uninstalling and the reinstalling the entire package but it still get the same problem.

I would be grateful if someone could point me to the cause of the problem. The details of my .log file follow:

We don’t provide direct support for MyEclipse on WSAD and we don’t have a copy in house to test with. MyEclipse is designed to run ontop of the base Eclipse platform.

That being said, let’s see if we can try some of the more obvious things to get you working. First try restarting using the ‘-clean’ command line argument, see if that helps. If it doesn’t, please tell me your Eclipse Build ID if you have one available, I’m not farmiliar with how WSAD is laid out.
