Yeah,
I'm thinkin about doing that ... but I did not want to lose all of my workspace references.
Anyone know how to keep them ?

Browse All TopicsThat's the error I now get when I try loading up eclipse:
"eclipse executable launcher was unable to locate its companion shared library"
I've googled this error but it seems most others that had this problem were installing this for the first time.
I've been using it on my Windows XP for some time.
The error came after I tried switching workspaces.
The new workspace never loaded, and when I tried rerunning eclipse, I got the error.
Rebooting the computer did not help.
Thanks !

Your ".metadata" should be in your own space, NEVER in a system area or under
C:\eclipse.
You can move that "tree" without a problem,
as long as you start eclipse (example from my PC) as:
C:\eclipse\eclipse.exe -data D:\JOOP\JAVA\Work -vmargs -Xmx256m -Xms128m
and of course my .metadata is in D:\JOOP\JAVA\Work

Is it an old version? 3.5M3 is actual.
May be you should delete C:\eclipse and unzip the new one.
