Maybe unrelated, but there is a history of
eclipse crashing on startup.  On my machine [1]
the eclipse thread exception [2] was solved by
setting JAVA_HOME [3].

iang

1.  FreeBSD 4.9 with jdk1.4.2 (p4 thru p6).

2.  this is the UnsatisfiedLinkError that
Eclipse throws on startup, seaching on the
net indicated that a) reinstall all Java,
and b) kldload linprocfs.

3.  For my luck, those didn't work, but setting
JAVA_HOME did.
