I just upgraded to macos Big Sur and can't bring up Eclipse. There seems to be a lot of similar issues posted online and I have been trying to work through the workarounds posted, but am getting nowhere so far.

There are a bunch of stack dumps in the log but the first is listed below.

I am wondering is there is an easy and/or reliable workaround for this.

Thanks for the reply. I rev'd this afternoon and got past that issue. But now my plugins are stale so I am having other issues. I am having some trouble finding how to get the specific versions of of jface packages that I need for the new eclipse rev. From reading it seems that they come included with many eclipse installs. But there were no plugins at all included in my download.
