Eclipse: locked workspace

November 16, 2004 | In Developer

Eclipse fails after the “Splash Screen” (and before “Select Workspace”) with a pop-up dialog saying “workspace is locked”.

To fix: kill the Java process(es) in the task manager. Go to run -> cmd (DOS prompt).
Delete the configuration dir and try the workaround using:

-vmargs -Dosgi.locking=none

e.g.

C:eclipse>eclipse.exe -vmargs -Dosgi.locking=none
