I completely uninstalled eclipse, I then ran locate to find all eclipse files (besides the dpkg stuff) and blew them away. I removed ~/.eclipse as well.
I then launched eclipse once more. Same error. I tried sudo eclipse in desperation as mentioned in the thread. Didn't help, didn't do anything apart from cluttering up /usr w/ config stuff. Nor did starting eclipse as a user after trying sudo. For whatever info it might provide, attaching the log from the most recent fail (they are all identical). ** Attachment added: "eclipse.log" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/eclipse/+bug/1000272/+attachment/3159754/+files/eclipse.log -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1000272 Title: Eclipse crashes at startup in Ubuntu 12.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/eclipse/+bug/1000272/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
