Problems during startup NWDS

Question

Hello Experts,
Need your help:  I got an error "Problems during startup, Check the ".log"....." when starting NWDS.  I checked .log, here is the errors:
org.eclipse.core.internal.boot.DelegatingLoaderException: org.eclipse.core.runtime.CoreException: Problems encountered starting up plug-in: "org.eclipse.core.resources".
at org.eclipse.core.internal.plugins.PluginDescriptor.internalDoPluginActivation(PluginDescriptor.java:754)
at org.eclipse.core.internal.plugins.PluginDescriptor.doPluginActivation(PluginDescriptor.java:188)
at org.eclipse.core.internal.plugins.PluginClassLoader.activatePlugin(PluginClassLoader.java:112)
Any suggestions/advises?
Thanks, Jin

Hi,
Take the backup of .metadata folder, then delete that from your workspace.
If you delete the .metadata file - It will no do any harm to your existing projects in your workspace.
But you need to import them into the NWDS again.
If there is any issue you delete the new .metadata and place the old backup .metadata.
There are no issues. I did that just now
Or
Instead of deleting the .metadata you can try giving the new workspace in -data of NWDS.
And in new workspace copy your old projects (from old workspace) and import them again into NWDS.
How to give  -data
Right click on NWDS shortcut on desktop and in shortcut tab
in target input:
For example already you have like this
D:\IDE70\eclipse\SapIde.exe -vm "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_04\bin\javaw.exe"
then at the end add
-data "C:\NewWorkspace"
