Hello, I was working on a project when all of a sudden, OmegaT just shut down. I decided to open it again by clicking on the icon but OmegaT appeared at the lower bar but it wouldn't still open. I decided to uninstall version 3.1.7, which was the one I was using, and install 3.1.9 but the problem still remains. I rebooted my laptop but it was futile too.
Does anyone know what might have happened?

There are two things you can try.
You can delete all option files (after saving them at another location, just in case). The location is given in the manual:
http://omegat.sourceforge.net/manual-standard/en/chapter.files.and.folders.html#user.files
You can also try to start OmegaT from the command line, to see whether you have at least an error message. The command line has to be typed from where OmegaT is installed (e.g., C:\Program Files\OmegaT\). The command is "java -jar OmegaT.jar".

To use the "java" command-line you need to install a JDK.
Does one indeed need JDK?

There's no need in JDK. Any program can be called from command line, JRE included.

What I meant was:
Running 'java -version' from the command line, I got this message:
'To use the "java" command-line you need to install a JDK.'
Why don't I get the version reported?
So it was actually a (well hidden) question, instead of a statement. Do you know the answer?

I would like to thank everyone for your answers but I haven't been able to solve the problem yet.

@Didier,
I have updated my java version to 8.40 but it didn't work with OmegaT 3.1.9. I uninstalled 3.1.9 and tried it with 3.1.7 and 3.1.8 with OmegaT.exe and Omegat T without JRE but none of them has worked.
If it is of any use, in the JRE folder, the PATCH file reads: "ENTRY: lib\ext\access-bridge.jar
warning wpt0015: Old File does not exist"
Where exactly do I type the command "java -jar OmegaT.jar"? Thanks in advance.

Then it's probably not an issue with Java. You don't report having tried my first suggestion.
Where exactly do I type the command "java -jar OmegaT.jar"?
In a command line window.
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/open-a-command-prompt-window
Then you must go where OmegaT is installed. It's often c:\Program Files\OmegaT. In that case, you type:
cd c:\Program Files\OmegaT
(cd means "change directory".)

Didier,
As to your first suggestion, I didn't save anything but uninstalled all of OmegaT's folders and then installed the versions above mentioned again.
I called up the command line and when I wrote "java -jar OmegaT.jar", an error message C:\Program\Data\Oracle\Java\javapath\java.exe. The specified route does not exist. This might be the problem.
I went to find the OmegaT folder to see if there was anything wrong. I called up the command line and it only led me to the OmegaT folder. There I clicke on the zipped OmegaT.jar file but there was anything wrong apparently.
I copied the files of OmegaT from another laptop to copy and paste to see if there was anything missing but found nothing different between the two of them.
The problem of accessing OmegaT appeared out of the blue. I opened it and it was fine. I closed it and then I couldn't open it again. It just appears on the task bar but when I click on it, it won't appear.
Thanks for your help.

From what you write, I am not sure you have deleted the configuration folder, which is one of the first things to try. Here is what I wrote:

That's normal if you did not launch this command from the OmegaT folder.

That's where you're supposed to type the command.

Why is there a zipped OmegaT.jar file here?

After losing heart because OmegaT shut itself down (I didn't delete anything) and wouln't open, I thought it wasn't work anymore on this computer until I downloaded Autshumato ITE and now OmegaT is up and running again but like an .exe program. I still don't know what happened exactly but I am glad I can get to work on OmegaT again. I just wanted to share this and thank everyone again for their replies.

Hello all,
I was running OmegaT 4.3.2 and Java 8. Everything was fine. Then yesterday I opened OmegaT to work on a project and all I get is an icon on the control bar at the bottom of my Windows 10 screen. If I click on that, it shows a small, white window, but try as I might, it won't open.
I have tried ALL of the solutions proposed in this thread. I have uninstalled, rebooted, scanned for random files, delete junk... nothing works.

The above is one of the open-source and free JRE environments. I find it very slim and suitable for applications working without any internal Java engine. After installing it, you should diss-instal the Oracle JRE, because OmegaT will always "fish" for it, ignoring the AdoptOpenJDK.
Colleagues using LibreOffice-OpenOffice, can easily link the AdoptOpenJDK.

Colleagues using LibreOffice-OpenOffice, can easily link the AdoptOpenJDK.
Using this or some other open-source environment, users can relax about the "production usage" of Oracle JRE which in some way, is subject of purchase, and not of free usage any more. I must admit that this "production usage" is a bit unclear term to me. Most possibly it should be interpreted as like for other software one uses for internal small business: antiviruses and similar, which need to in paid version. Or I might be wrong.
Also, considering your OS, instead of the version you use, you might opt for OmegaT for Windows with internally added JRE. I am guessing a bit, never used it, but lurking now into the download page on Sourceforge, I find that a version for Windows is about 50Mbs bigger than the "Windows_without_JRE", so I presume this augmentation of volume is for the JRE inside.

I have really tried all the method, that hier listed. install and uninstall all the versions of Java AdoptOpenJDK and Autshumato.
Restore the system. But after that, after 10 hour hardworking.
I finally get the right way.
After deleting the folder omegaT in
C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Roaming\
It finally works.
