Hi Tom,

I have exactly the same problem as you on a RELENG_6 system.

Have you tried moving out the way the .eclipse folder in your home
directory? Doing this has fixed the problem for someone else.

Just out of interest what log file was the error logged to? I have yet
to find a log file with anything relevant logged on my system.

I still do not know what caused this to start for me. There seems to
be a bug on the eclipse bugs system that reports similar difficulties,
but has yet to be resolved:

Bug 103756 - FreeBSD port bugs
