I have Windows 7 64 bit OS, I was just using Eclipse Helios, before I restart my pc, after the restart I am not able to use eclipse anymore. when I click on the eclipse icon, it opens but while loading it just stuck there, and when I click on it, I get the following message: JAVA (TM) Platform SE is not responding.
So, does anyone know what should I do?

Nima, Are you on a 64 bit version of the JDK and 64 bit version of Helios? . If not try having both on 64 bit, so that you can leverage your OS. Also, edit your
eclipse.inifile to launch it pointing to a specific vm. eg :[SOLVED] Issue resolved with deleting the .snap file from
yourworkspace\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.core.resourcesExplanation for the snap file : While Eclipse is running, information about what has changed in the workspace is incrementally logged into various "snapshot" files (including .snap). On normal Eclipse shutdown, the complete workspace state is saved and the .snap files are deleted. When Eclipse crashes, the snapshot files are used during the next startup to recover from the crash.
So, it appears that some error is occuring that is causing Eclipse to crash. Then, there is an error recovering from the crash on the next startup. These are quite possibly unrelated problems, but by manually deleting the snapshot file you are tricking Eclipse into thinking that a crash did not occur, so the crash recovering routines do not run.
