Eclipse Crashing During starting up

I have experienced several issues of eclipse crashing with workspace configured. It would generally take lot of time and will simply display the splash screen. Initially I thought it is due to lack of memory(RAM), but I saw similar symptoms even with massive configuration(16GB Ram, Quad Core etc) After googling I found the actual cause of eclipse crashing, The solution is simple, delete specific .snap file from eclipse workspace location. For me deleting the following files worked, \.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.core.resources\.snap   and \.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.core.resources\.root\.markers.snap Eclipse uses .snap files for remembering workspace state during runtime. Deleting these files' does not effect any projects in the workspace, every thing for me just worked fine.
