I am trying to start eclipse and am getting the error in
workspace/.metadata/.log

Caused by: org.eclipse.core.runtime.CoreException: Unable to create
platform lock file: /home/dave/eclipse/workspace/.metadata/.lock.

Now the file exists with the correct
pwd
/home/dave/eclipse/workspace/.metadata
ls -la
total 5
drwxrwxr-x 2 dave dave 1024 Oct 20 14:48 .
drwxrwxr-x 3 dave dave 1024 Oct 20 14:18 ..
-rw-rw-r-- 1 dave dave 133 Oct 20 14:18 .cache.properties
-rw-rw-r-- 1 dave dave 0 Oct 20 14:18 .lock
-rw-rw-r-- 1 dave dave 1640 Oct 20 14:33 .log

I am using
../eclipse -vm /usr/j2sdk1.4.1/bin/java

to start eclipse...
