Two hints:

1. The port of Eclipse 3.7.1 had an issue with permissions
    on some directories/files which broke plugins. Not sure if
    it still persists - check /usr/local/lib/eclipse/plugins
    and below. Something like
      d=/usr/local/lib/eclipse/plugins
      find $d -type d -exec chmod 755 {} +
      find $d -type f -exec chmod 644 {} +
    could help...

2. Few days ago I posted to few lists (I think to ports
    and then to questions) that the last upgrade of www/libxul
    broke some programs - chmsee  and gecko-mediaplayer in my
    case but eclipse may be affected, too. If you have libxul
    10 then try to go back to 1.9 (see /usr/ports/UPDATING of
    20120910) and rebuild eclipse.
