eclipse work space is in use

This is irritating. Eclipse crashes and leaves me with this.

The solution.

rm workspace/.metadata/.lock

For the windows users just go to your workspace directory and .metadata directory and delete the .lock file.

Oh if that doesn't work and it says that the file is still in use. Look for the javaw.exe or java process and kill it.
