It may be a little bit late for an answer, but you can try to do this:

Step 1:

• Go to your User directory and navigate to your Flash Builder Files:

FOR WINDOWS:

C:\Users\[YOUR USER] \Adobe Flash Builder 4.5\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.core.resources\

FOR OSX {FILES HIDDEN}:

[Flash Builder Workspace Directory]\.metadata\org.eclipse.core.resources\

Step 2:

• If there is a ".snap" file, delete it and then start "FlashBuilderC.exe" in Admin-Mode
  FOR WINDOWS BY DEFAULT:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Flash Builder 4.5\

Step 3:

• Close Flash Builder again and then open Flash Builder normally (should work again)

I hope this helps someone.

I've had this problem a couple of times. For the first time, deleting the .snap file worked. Not the second time, however.

I looked at the log file for the workspace located under the .metadata folder (inside your Flash Builder files, typically: c:\Users\[YOUR USER]\Adobe Flash Builder 4.5\), and found the following line towards the end:

!MESSAGE Job found still running after platform shutdown. Jobs should be canceled by the plugin that scheduled them during shutdown:

I solved this by deleting the file workbench.xml in the org.eclipse.ui.workbench folder under the .plugins one, and then starting up the Flash Builder again.

The workspace at least opened, admittedly with a problematic project but at least I could fix it from there.

Try deleting:

C:\Users\[USERNAME]\Adobe Flash Builder 4.7\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.ui.workbench

When this happens, I usuall just delete the metadata from my workspace and the reimport all the existing projects to workspace.

Run the following inside your workspace:

$ rm -rf .metadata

This was happening often enough for me that I ended up writing a batch file to fix the issue, using Marchar and fenomas's posts - thanks guys! (Note - ensure the Flash Builder process has been killed before running it)

cd C:\Users\[your name here]\Adobe Flash Builder 4.7\.metadata
del .lock

cd C:\Users\[your name here]\Adobe Flash Builder 4.7\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.core.resources
del .snap

My eventual solution:

1. Rename the workspace folder. [My default was at C:\Users\jhouser\Adobe Flash Builder 4]
2. Start up Flash Builder. Behold! It starts! All the projects are now broken because the paths are now incorrect.
3. Shut down Flash Builder.
4. Rename the workspace folder back to what it was.
5. Start up Flash Builder.

I had the same experience as Apollo M. Deleting the .snap and .lock files didn't work for me.

I located the workbench.xml file (C:\Users[your name here]\Documents[your project directory].metadata.plugins\org.eclipse.ui.workbench) and deleted the individual entries under the "" tag.

Nice thing about this is that my workspace opened correctly, with no need to re-import my projects.
