can't restart WSAD

[IMB4U]

I'm running WSAD v4. I managed to crash the whole WSAD system running my
code. When I went to restart WSAD, it wouldn't start. I powered down the
machine and tried again with the same results.

Checking the log, I see:

4 org.eclipse.core.runtime 2 Plugin org.eclipse.ui was unable to instantiate
class org.eclipse.ui.internal.Workbench.
org.eclipse.core.internal.boot.DelegatingLoaderException:
org.eclipse.core.runtime.CoreException: Problems encountered starting up
plug-in: org.eclipse.core.resources.

Any ideas why even the base plugins won't load?

thanks

I don't know why it won't load, but try moving the existing
<APP_DEV_ROOT>\workbench to a different name and starting again and then
import what you need from the old workbench. Or start WebSphere Studio
with the -data option: <APP_DEV_ROOT>\wsappdev -data
new_workbench_directory.
