Eclipse does not start, there is no Workspace, metadata or log file created

A possible cause for this could be the lack of access rights to all, part or one of the files under $DVT_HOME.

Solution:

  • check the log in the ~/user’shome/.eclipse/org.eclipse.platform_/configuration/.log and see what is the file that can not be accessed

  • make sure that you have rx rights on all files & folders under $DVT_HOME
