Not sure what that is, looks like some type of arthropod. This really reminds me of that face implant alien from the movies Aliens. Any care to guess what this is?

Today as I sat down at my cubicle and did my daily routine to initiate eclipse. I encountered a horrible sight; eclipse would start and all of a sudden just crash.

I first tried the obvious solution, to clean out the workspace.

	./eclipse -clean

Nope, no go, still eclipse kept crashing. Ugh, I fell into despair, all those key-binds and spring templates, all gone. So, rationally I hopped on to #eclipse on irc.freenode.net to get some feed back on my situation. Rcjsuen was kind enough to provide the answer that would solve my problem.

The solution was fairly straight forward. I had to remove org.eclipse.core.resources from my workspace.

	cd ~/Documents/workspace/.metalog/.plugins
	rm -rf  org.eclipse.core.resources

By removing org.eclipse.core.resources, you clear out all the project metadata from your workspace. However, don't worry, once you start eclipse you can just go to "File -> Import -> import eclipse projects" and re-import all your workspace projects.
