I resolved this issue (on my system) by reinstalling libequinox
$ sudo apt-get install --reinstall libequinox-osgi-java
The debug output claimed that the framework has been found, but this was
a lie since:
/usr/lib/eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.osgi_3.8.1.dist.jar was missing.
Maybe there needs to be better sanity checking here.....
