Answer 1

It looks like Eclipse is starting up in an odd state - such that the UI is not fully-formed when our plugin starts.  I'm going to continue to investigate the reasons behind this to try to avoid future errors, but it appears that it may occur when Eclipse crashes or is forcefully terminated (eg, kill -9).

Does running "eclipse --clean" help?

Answer 2

Hello,

I have the same problem as Vladimir using Eclipse Juno and TEE SP1.

I cannot reopen Eclipse in MyWorkSpace and --clean doesn't help.

Answer 3

Me  too - same version of Eclipse and TEE, same exact stack trace.  Eclipse "clean" option didn't work.  I had to go one step further than the "clean" option.  There is a batch script posted in a conversation here which cleans up much of the cached metadata in Eclipse.  I got this script, edited it to point to my Eclipse and workspace directories, and ran it.  This solved the problem, but I had to re-add my projects into the workspace.  Better than a clean install of Eclipse and all plugins though.

Answer 4

Thanks everybody for reporting this issue.  This workaround (while painful) should work for you for now.  We believe we have isolated this problem and that we have a fix for the upcoming Team Explorer Everywhere 2012 release.  Please let me know if this does not fix the problem once this release is available.

Thanks again-

Answer 5

The simplest workaround I use (as this problem is not only TFS eclipse plug-in related) :

remove <workspace>/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.resources/.snap

Then (preferably) restart eclipse with -clean

I've had this problem occur once or twice with Eclipse Helios and Juno, and the above workaround quickly sorts out the issue.

Answer 6

Had this problem after a power outage and this workaround solved the problem.

Thanks.

Answer 7

Thanks for the note.  Out of curiosity, are you using TFS plug-in for Eclipse 2010 or 2012?
