Just had this issue, for me it was a corrupted workspace osgi cache. The solution was to run eclipse with the -clean parameter as

eclipse.exe -clean

After some time, eclipse required to clean up, the workspace selection dialog popped up and I could start eclipse normally again.

The -clean parameter is documented in the eclipse help
