On Ubuntu Eclipse workspace not launching

Question

I am new on Ubuntu and android. When I am trying to open my eclipse it shows a popup message saying workspace/home/promaster/workspace is in use. Even when I change the absolute path it show the same popup message.

Answer 1

If eclipse crashed and left it's lock file behind (that is, you are sure no one is running eclipse elsewhere with that workspace / you've rebooted) you can remove the lock file.

rm -f /home/promaster/workspace/.metadata/.lock

You can also run eclipse with

eclipse -clean

Answer 2

Click file and try switch workspace, click other and write your new path. It's all.
