Eclipe Kepler crashes while opening file

Question

When opening a file in Eclipse Kepler, the files opens for a split second and closes?? How can this be fixed?

I have tried removing /workspace/.metadata/.lock but it still crashes when opening a file

Answer 1

Try starting eclipse in clean mode using

./eclipse.exe -clean

if that doesn't work try deleting .metadata.plugins\org.eclipse.e4.workbench folder.
