Problem with eclipse installation [message #1008207]

I had eclipse running just fine, Win7, 64-bit; I had a new project with an Ant script and it said it required a JDK instead of the JRE I was running.

So I downloaded and installed a Win 64-bit JDK. I have since verified that I have a 64-bit eclipse as well.

eclipse would not run when I first tried it -- it could not find a JRE. I edited the system path variable to include the JRE portion of the JDK and rebooted.

Now when I attempt to run eclipse, it gives me its splash screen for what seems like slightly longer than it used to take to start up, then pops up a dialog with:

An error has occurred. See the log file c:\Users\me\etc\.log

eclipse then dies.

The log file has the usual-looking gigantic stack trace, but the first "caused by" line I get is:

Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/crypto/BadPaddingException

There are several other NoClassDefFoundErrors further down.

There were other instructions that I found for having eclipse work with the new JDK, such as copying the entire JRE folder into the eclipse directory or editing eclipse.ini instead of having the jre bin in the system path, but I am hoping someone can tell me what is wrong so that I'm not just wasting time trying different things.

I've uploaded the .log file in case that's interesting to someone.

I have no clue what's happening with that class javax/crypto/BadPaddingException.
Given that this class appears to be accessed from equinox, perhaps those folks have an idea:

After a couple of days where no one said "Oh, I know what that is!" and no chorus of people saying they had seen it as well, I decided it must be installation-specific and that the 'blunt axe' approach would have to do. I downloaded and unpacked a new version of eclipse, and when THAT had the same problem, I went in and uninstalled all my java installations and re-installed the latest version of 6. It's working now. I suspect I had competing versions of java or something, but no good evidence of anything more specific. Thanks to Stephan and anyone who looked at it.
