Mike,
Question: What does comment/uncomment mean in the eclipse.ini?
Answer..: If you open an editor that can edit an "*.ini" file, you can comment out your code. Just like RDi 9.5 allows you to do with Alt + / (Comment Line(s) . <grin>
I was using NotePad++, which puts a ";" in front of the statement. Which I assume makes it a Comment-line, or won't process the statement.
Anyway, long story short, I restored the original ecliplse.ini, and my issue went away....
<Big Smile>
Merry Christmas!

Just back from a wee vacation so my reply may be a bit late..
I don't believe that reducing the -Xms value would affect the exit code=1 issue. If it does then you don't have enough memory to run anything anyway ;)
What does comment/uncomment mean in the eclipse.ini? In any case if adding the -Xshareclasses:name=IBMSDP_%u has an effect then you likely have a class that fails to restore from the class cache. This means that just specifying a named cache will defer the problem until the next time the class goes to be loaded from the cache. I would suggest replacing it with -Xshareclasses:none to turn off the cache and likely avoid the issue

P.S. Research shows see that folks have found that # at the start of the line for eclipse.ini in Windows does apparently work as a comment, cool.

Cool! I reset my eclipse.ini file and it worked!!! <Joy Joy>
Switch from "-Xms200m" to "-Xms100m" (Lowered the value)
Uncomment this line: "-Xshareclasses:name=IBMSDP_%u"...
And my RDI 9.5 starts up again! Yeah! No re-install!
PS. It was set back to the original values. <grin>

Thanks Buck!
I tried renaming my saved workspace, that did not seem to work. And IBM support earlier had me switch around my eclipse.ini file, so I will now try going to the fall back eclipse.ini.
Hope it works, I will re-install tonight... :(

Not that I know of, but I once managed to so completely corrupt my install that it wouldn't start. That was 100% my own fault as I was mucking about with internal config files AND working on a user command at the same time.
Anyway, what helped me avoid a re-install was a new workspace. Rename your existing workspace and then create an empty one with the old name.
Then start RDi with -clean.
