DQC IDE Crashes Upon Launch

Reported for version 9

Problem

The DQC IDE crashes after the splash screen appears. No error message is provided and the splash screen quickly disappears.

The log file in the workspace\.metadata folder reads: !SESSION !SESSION !SESSION !SESSION

Solution

This could be the result of DQC being unable to access the required JAVA files, so in the event that your Java environment was recently modified, ensure that some files were not removed. Further troubleshooting can be done by adding -debug and -consoleLog to the dqc.ini to provide more details regarding the cause of the crash. Alternatively, you can use -nosplash in the event that there is a problem with launching the splash screen, or -clean, which will remove any cached data used by the OSGi framework and Eclipse runtime.
