Eclipse Run Problem

[Adam VanderHook]

After doing a port upgrade yesterday I have not been able to launch
eclipse.  I've go so far as to deinstall, make clean, and make install
again, as well as move my workspace out of the way.  I have been able to
recreate this on my system at work too.

5.2.1-RELEASE
eclipse-2.1.3_1     An open extensible IDE for anything and nothing in particul
jdk-1.4.2p6_4       Java Development Kit 1.4.2
linux-sun-jdk-1.4.2.05 Sun Java Development Kit 1.4 for Linux

I get the following popup:

	Problems during startup.  Check the ".log" file in the ".metadata"
	directory of your workspace.

The following is the .log file from my fresh workspace after my
above-mentioned reinstall:
