Eclipse IDE fails to start up after an update

Question

I can't run Eclipse after updating. It sends me a message that an error has occurred.

Caused by: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Workbench has not been created yet.

Instead of a link, can you edit your question and add the log file? — Derek Hopper, Dec 30 '17 at 16:08
You can copy and paste the relevant parts, indenting 4 spaces. https://stackoverflow.com/editing-help#code — Derek Hopper, Dec 30 '17 at 16:15
You could share the relevant parts of it. Often it's helpful to just see the last few lines around the error itself. — Derek Hopper, Dec 30 '17 at 17:31
the problem is I don't know what part of the file is relevant))) — Zimovets Sergey, Dec 30 '17 at 17:33
go to your workspace, and remove `.metadata`, or better rename it to something like `.metadata_`. That will reset your eclipse's settings. — Michał Zaborowski, Dec 30 '17 at 20:47

There is a known open issue with Eclipse with org.eclipse.launchbar.core, and from content of your log file it looks that is also your problem. (Presumably you are using C/C++?)

See open Eclipse Bug 509263.

You could try to start Eclipse using the -clean parameter. I doubt if that will help, but it is a simple thing to try. Otherwise I think you will have to wait for the bug fix unless you see any helpful comments from posters in the bug entries.

It would also be helpful to update that Eclipse bug report with details of your specific problem if you still have not resolved the issue.
