Hello all :) Just posting here to know if any of you have encountered this problem before:
Eclipse fails to launch, here is the .metadata/.log file from the workspace: http://pastebin.com/BeUwASQ4
It happened after the UI began malfunctioning after a line of length 1 500 000 got printed to the console (which I had configured to roll over 800 000 bytes, from the 100 000 default)
I think the key error in the log file is at the org.eclipse.ui.workbench
plugin startup (line 42: RSEUIStartup
)
IMHO the UI fails to launch because it can't handle the console again. Do you guys know how to reset the UI display from outside eclipse?
EDIT: Problem solved, thanks to Aaron! I was beginning to panic after a new install of eclipse was also crashing. I also used this answer for restoring the launch configurations I had.
