Clean and Start eclipse from command prompt

Question

What is the command to start the eclipse from command prompt. After installing jadclipse I am not getting the jadclipse option under preferences, and read somewhere that starting and cleaning from command prompt will solve the issue.

Answer 1

1. Navigate in your cmdprompt to the eclipse installation folder using cd
2. execute eclipse.exe [calling arguments]

Another approach would be to add the eclipse installation folder path to your PATH environment variable open cmd and execute eclipse.exe [calling arguments] directly

Answer 2

You can use this in the command line

cmd_line_path> eclipse.exe -clean

Answer 3

Go to your eclipse ide installation(application.exe)folder type cmd and run below this command. eclipse.exe -clean this is perfectly to solve my problem.
