About 50% of the time I start the IDE I get a popup saying “Initializing TargetCfg has encountered a problem”. When I click the Details button it just says there was a NullPointerException. I can close this and go about my work without issue at that point.

Perhaps related to this (perhaps not), about 50% of the time I’m also not prompted to select a workspace when I open the IDE (despite the setting being set to prompt in the preferences). The IDE just opens to some workspace that is not the last one I used (or any that I have used in recent starts). I have to then switch the workspace (and hope it pays attention this time) in order to get to the correct one.

Thanks very much for any info you might have.

The first thing that comes to my mind is that your workspace could be corrupt. Can you try using the -clean command and check if that helps resolve this issue:-

If you switch to a brand new workspace, do you face the same issue?

Can you paste your installation details (MyEclipse > Installation Summary > Installation Details) here for me.

Hi thanks for the reply. I’ve changed my shortcut to use -clean, but out of 3 attempts at opening the IDE 1 of them still showed the error message. Other users at my company are also experiencing the same errors. I’ve pasted the installation details below (you may notice the vm entry references javaw.exe rather than jvm.dll – this was a temporary change I just made to try and address an SSL error I’ve been seeing. This NullPointerException error was happening before I made that change.) Let me know if I can provide any other details.

Thanks.

Also, I’ve noted that the workspace opening without prompting me issue happens independently of the NullPointerException.

Thanks.

I found this in the .log file, which appears to be related to this issue:

I had the same error everytime with windows7 and MyEclipse Enterprise workbench version 8.5

Solution was your workspace has chache probelm. You need to run the following command in command prompt in MyEclipse directory

myexplorer.exe -clean
