Last night at 2am I closed my Eclipse  Juno  just fine  This morning I open it up and I get nothing but  Not Responding  on my 64bit Windows 7 machine   I looked in  workspace   metadata  log and it showed an error with Invalid property category path  ValidationPropertiesPage  I cuss it out pretty good and then show it who s the boss     delete  workspace   metadata folder delete  workspace   project   settings Open up Eclipse to the same workspace as before  re-import your project    Which brings me to another topic    Eclipse -  import -  Android -  Existing Android code into workspace    seems to be broken once again  But that s a different topic

If there is a project you earlier imported externally  outside of Workspace   that may cause this problem  If you can access Eclipse try to remove it  If you are getting the  No responding at startup   then go delete the file at source   This will solve the problem

I had similar symptoms recently  Turned out it was caused by the Subversion server being unavailable - once that was restarted I was able to right-click  My environment was Eclipse Luna with Subclipse   So worth checking that any connected source control systems are operational  Hope that helps

Try this  it worked for me   If you happen to have Eclipse not responding anymore sometimes  the reason could be that you sit on a 64bit machine where eclipse needs more memory  Be sure to have  at least  the following configurations in your eclipse ini  I even use bigger values for the PermSizes    -Xms512m -Xmx1024m -XX PermSize 64m -XX MaxPermSize 128m
