Cannot Start SAP Mobile WorkSpace After Modifying Plugins

Problem: After applying private patches, temporary fixes, or manually changing plugin contents, SAP Mobile WorkSpace fails to start.

If SAP Mobile WorkSpace fails to start in any of these scenarios, you may have a corrupt p2 and/or configuration folder under SMP_HOME\Eclipse.

Solution: Follow the instructions of the temporary fix or private patch, and extract the clean p2 and configuration folders from the patch for recovery purposes. Follow these steps to recover from corrupt p2 and configuration folders:
  1. Ensure SAP Mobile WorkSpace is shut down.
  2. Delete the p2 and configuration folders under SMP_HOME\Eclipse.
  3. Unzip the clean Eclipse p2 and configuration folders from the temporary fix or private patch, and copy these folders to SMP_HOME\MobileSDKxx\Eclipse\ .
  4. Restart SAP Mobile WorkSpace.
