Server Tomcat v7 0 Server at localhost failed to start without stack trace while it works in terminal

Question

This project which worked just fine prior to the other days has now while trying to be launched with the Tomcat server, immediately gives the following error:

Server Tomcat v7.0 Server at localhost failed to start.

However, I can start Tomcat just fine via Terminal, and this problem is occurring in Eclipse. I searched for several forums trying to find a solution but to no avail! Please help me as I am in need of a solution.

To resolve this issue, you have to delete the .snap file located in the directory:

<workspace-directory>\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.core.resources

Once the file is eliminated, you could start Eclipse with no problem.
