Optima launch error: "Unable to read workbench state"
Q: I tried launching Optima 2.7 and for some reason it thought my C/C++ source view was stale so it requested a refresh of the C/C++ view. Afterward, I am not able to bring up System Browser or System Profiler, or any other Optima tools due to this error:
A: The metadata needs cleaning up. Find optima_win32/eclipse (or wherever the executable is for your case) and run it from the command line once as "./eclipse -clean" to remove any spoiled caches for eclipse. They may have been disordered after refreshing the source view (sometimes happens if you switch between different versions of eclipse). After Optima comes up, shut it down in orderly fashion and relaunch it (without clean) once more. This should resolve whatever cache or plugin inconsistencies cause Optima to forget where the perspective is. If that doesn't help, find your workspace directory and delete .metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.ui.workbench/workbench.xml to force Optima to revert to the default perspective on startup.
