Loading org.eclipse.php.core…
I use Zend Studio for Eclipse, Version 6.0 for Windows for my coding. This is the first version from Zend in Eclipse. It is a good application but it still have some major bugs. One of the problems is if it crashes to often. Sometimes when I try to restart it after a crash it just hangs on “Loading org.eclipse.php.core”. When you get that problem it doesn’t help to restart the machine. Uninstall and reinstall sometimes works, but not always. After a while I found out that deleting the org.eclipse.core.resources seems to solve the problem. You can usually find the catalog on C:\Documents and Settings\\Zend\workspaces\DefaultWorkspace\.metadata\.plugins on a Windows machine. The only thing you need then, is to import your projects again. Actually quite easy solution. I just found out by accident while I was writing this post that deleting catalog org.eclipse.core.runtime instead also works. But I would not recommend it! The program works fine and I haven’t lost my projects… but I have lost all my settings! So I need to once again set up my Zend with UTF-8 text encoding, unix line delimiter, my custom formatter and more… Much easier to just delete org.eclipse.core.resources! Hope this advice can help others that are struggling!
