I have problem with running my Eclipse. I tried 3.7, 4.2 and 4.3 versions with java 6 and java 7. Nothing can help me. It shows me popup screen but it doesn't start to load( I dont have chance to choose workspace). Starting it with -debug -console parameters shows that it stops running in this moment:

Time to load bundles: 10
Starting application: 6374

I have started JVisualVM but I cannot observe anything special. There are no deadlocks etc.

Edit

My observations were to deep... After ~60s pid of eclipse is dead.

Edit 2

Now it stops on 

Time to load bundles: 8
org.eclipse.m2e.logback.configuration: The org.eclipse.m2e.logback.configuration bundle was activated before the state location was initialized.  Will retry after the state location is initialized.
Starting application: 3557

Edit 3

I have managed to start it but only with -clean parameter and with choosing workspace from command line -data parameter.
