How to read Error Logs of Eclipse when its not starting

If your Eclipse in not able to Load and you want to read the logs then goto the configuration folder inside the Eclipse and then there will be a log file named with numbers.This file is generated only when an error occurs.

eg
 D:\Eclipse\configuration\1336034442252.log

If you are unable to launch you application which is an Eclipse Plugin or which is developed on some version of eclipse in that case you wont have such folder.
 In such a scenario whenever such application is required to launch such applications are loaded in side the temp folder.You can visit the temp folder and reach to the application.

eg in temp folder the folder will be notified something like this


FrontendApplication-MyECLIPSEPlugin-USERNAME

This folder will contain the data which is loaded in the machine.Its generally in the form of zip and is found under archives folder.
