tried to do some housecleaning on my laptop this morning. among other things, moved eclipse to another directory. expected some problems and was not disappointed.
changed shortcut properties, grep'd around ini, prefs and xml files, updating references to workspace and jdks.
still, upon startup, eclipse and myeclipse both would just sit w/ splash screen displayed and progress no further. log entries did not reveal anything enlightening.
futzed and futzed with it on the train and for some time after getting to office. scanned the registry, looking for related values. was really stretching for what the problem was and why eclipse would not startup.
eventually admitted defeat and moved eclipse back to its original location. a couple final quick edits to prefs file and all was fine again.
just in time too: coworker called moments later needing help with a bug.
