Flash Builder 4.6 crashes on startup

[lawrencem49]

Hi,

I've been using fb 4.6 premium for a while and everything works fine. Then 2 days ago it started crashing every time I tried to start it up, and it always crashes when the message "loading workbench" appears at the splash screen. The .log recorded the following:

!ENTRY org.eclipse.ui 2 0 2012-06-13 18:24:12.943

!MESSAGE Warnings while parsing the commands from the 'org.eclipse.ui.commands' and 'org.eclipse.ui.actionDefinitions' extension points.

!ENTRY org.eclipse.core.net 1 0 2012-06-13 18:24:13.845

!MESSAGE System property http.nonProxyHosts has been set to local|*.local|169.254/16|*.169.254/16 by an external source. This value will be overwritten using the values from the preferences

Can anyone decipher what's going on and how to fix it? Thanks!

Nice Mugdha, that worked for me. 

Just followed your steps and started working again.  So far so good.

thank you.

Well I'm facing the same issue and tried every workaround possible to get Flash Builder 4.6 to start, but it just doesn't.

The issue is that I have just FB installed on my machine, so to try Mugdha's solution, I cannot even start any CS6 software to deactivate the serial and re-enter it. Any ideas?

this trick worked for me:

So, if Flash Builder freezes trying to load your workspace what you need to do to fix it is to navigate to.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.resources and delete the file named .snap. That’s it. No more rearranging views and reimporting projects!

Update: Looks like in workspaces created by Flash Builder 4.5 this file doesn’t exist. If I ever break a FB 4.5 workspace I’ll have to start looking for a solution all over again )8

I am facing a similar issue, where Adobe Flash Builder crashes on startup. I see an error message as " An error has occurred. See the log file. C:\users\XYZ\Adoe Flash Builder 4.6\.metadata\.log"

I have tried below steps to correct this issue such as :-

1. UnInstall/Re-Install
2. Deleting .snap file
3. Deleting Adobe Flash Builder 4.6 folder in user directory
4. Installing to different directory
5. Adobe cleanup tool etc

I am trying to install for first time. Same installer works for my other team member. PLEASE HELP ME
