Eclipse (Oxygen) hangs while starting/restarting, shows message as Initializing Spring Tooling at right bottom corner as below and always be in Not Responding state.

Killed the process multiple times by Task Manager to exit and restarted several times but doesn't help.

Can please someone help to fix this ?

Below steps will resolve the issue:

1. Terminate Eclipse IDE with Task Manager and delete below folder:

   .metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.resources/.history

2. There will be folder .metadata in your Eclispe workspace. Just delete the .log files in it.

3. Move to path where eclipse.exe is available. Then from Command Prompt just type

   eclipse.exe -clean
