I also got this problem after doing a (distribution) software update yesterday which installed eclipse 3.2.1. Attaching my .log file from trying to run with Sun jdk 1.5.0_08 amd64.
Running eclipse 3.2.1 amd64 downloaded from eclipse.org works fine however. ** Attachment added: "workspace logfile" http://librarian.launchpad.net/4934552/.log -- Eclipse will not start (Edgy) https://launchpad.net/bugs/68053 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
