I'm trying to get Eclipse installed on my new MacBookPro but after I unzip
the tar file and try to run Eclipse I get an error message of "An error
has occured reference the log file found at
users/derekhollis/documents/workspace/.metadata/.log". But the metadata
dir doesnt exist. Workspace dir is empty. I am a newbie to Mac. Any
suggestions?

What version of Eclipse are you trying? Version 3.2 m5 is the only
version that will work on Intel Macs out of the box. See
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=98889 for details.

Files and directories that start with . are hidden files on unix based
systems (including OS X). The easiest way to see them is from the
Terminal, using the command ls -a

Hope this helps,
- Jeff

The best way to view the log is via the log view. Window > Show View >
Other > PDE Runtime > Error Log. It even works on Mac ;)

Welcome to Unix. The log file is preceded by a period and is hidden in
default OS X directories. You should be able to see the file from inside a
terminal session with ls -al and then display the file with 'cat .log'.

I think there is a thread indicating that you need to be running 3.2M5 in
order to run on the Intel box.

Welcome to Macintosh and OSX. You will never go back to the other system.
