I upgraded from Fedora Core 4 to Fedora Core 5 on my Intel Pentium IV system. Now I can not run Eclipse. I installed the latest version from the new software installed available on Fedora Core 5. When I try to lauch Eclipse I get this error message:

An error occurred. See the log file ~/workspace/.metadata/.log.

The tail end of the suggested log file contains entries like this:

I don't know what this output means, and I don't find it helpful in resolving my problem.

What needs to be done so that I can successfully launch Eclipse?

Best to ask that question here:
http://www.eclipse.org/newsportal/th...lipse.platform

Looks like Eclipse has been upgraded from 3.0 to 3.1, nevertheless, there are still references to 3.0 JAR files in some configuration files.

What about deleting (renaming) the ~/.eclipse folder?
