My Eclipse closed unexpectedly. When trying to open again, it shows the following message:
![[Popup com o alerta "Workspace is in use or cannot be created"]](https://i.stack.imgur.com/qBkh2.png)
With the words:
The default Workspace [...] is in use or cannot be created. Please Choose a Different one.
In free translation:
The standard working environment [...] is in use or cannot be created. Please choose another one.
What is the procedure to save my Workspace?
I am using Eclipse Oxygen, running with JDK 8u151. Windows 10

The mistake was caused by something similar to what the @acklay went through with Git: Error: Unable to create 'C:/Myproject/. git/index.lock': File exists
In this case, Eclipse created inside the folder $WORKSPACE/.metadata one latch file called .lock:
I tried to remove the file, but...
I tried to find the file eclipse.exe, but not found in the task manager (had aborted unexpectedly, after all). So I left for the solution indicated by @rray in chat: restart the computer.
After rebooting the machine, Eclipse opened normally. I didn’t even need to delete the crash file.
