Eclipse Neon Does Not Start

Question

Eclipse Neon displays an error message box during startup and will not open. The message gives a file path to a log file. In that file I see this error message:

!ENTRY org.eclipse.e4.ui.workbench.swt 4 2 2016-11-13 08:50:49.856
!MESSAGE Problems occurred when invoking code from plug-in: "org.eclipse.e4.ui.workbench.swt".

The OS is Ubuntu 16.04

I would consider re installation or fresh download from eclipse.org/downloads/. – Brunk

i found this solution and it worked for me.

I went to directory:

.metadata.plugins\org.eclipse.e4.workbench

And renamed

workbench.xmi to workbenchOLD.xmi

I found it here:

org.eclipse.swt.SWTException: “Widget is disposed” when trying to open AndroidManifest.xml

I hope it helped! See you,

Worked like a charm. Thank you – Olivero

Great fix. It would be better to delete workbench.xmi altogether in my opinion. – Marchak
