Try changing the workspace if that works. To force change workspace prompt, make following change.

<Eclipse_root_dir>\configuration\.settings\org.eclipse.ui.ide.prefs and set SHOW_WORKSPACE_SELECTION_DIALOG to true

  1. If that works, go to workspace\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.core.resources and delete .snap file.

  2. If #2 does not work, try deleting workspace\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.core.resources folder. Make sure you back it up, just in case it is needed in future.
