At some point my eclipse crashed and ever since that moment every time i try to restart it, it fails and I get the following exception in my logs:

I was able to workarond the problem by removing the folder .metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.resources but in this way I've lost all my run history and I'd like to recover that. Is there any more specific file that I can remove to solve this problem?
It turns out the problem was hidden somewhere in a *.snap file.
I was able to solve the problem by running the command:
find . -name "*.snap" -exec rm -rf {} \;
within the .metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.resources folder.
