Question

There is a bug in Eclipse PDT while it's starting up.

How to solve this issue?

Answer 1

Switching workspace (working adresory) or erasing the current one helped me.

Answer 2

I use Eclipse HELIOS and had this problem. In workspace/.metadata/.plugins/, deleting the folders whose name begins with org.eclipse.dltk and restarting eclipse worked for me. The folders were rebuilt automatically when I re-opened my workspace. For Eclipse PDT, also delete folders whose name begins with org.eclipse.pdt.
