Hi!

I am new to eclipse and started with the 2.0.1 build. Created a new
sample java project and added a few classes. Next, I wanted to try the
JUnit plugin and used the 'File/New/Other' to create the TestSuite, a
TestCase, and finally added the TestCase to the TestSuite using the
'File/New/Other'. I was able to successfully build the project and run
the newly created TestSuite. Next, I closed eclipse application. This
morning, when I attempted to start eclipse, a dialog popped up
displaying text: "Problems during startup. Check the ".log" file in the
".metadata" directory of your workspace." Here is what the
$ECLIPSE_HOME/workspace/.metadata/.log file say:

I searched the archive to see if other people have experienced similar
problems to no avail. Also, "eclipse-SDK-I20021018-linux-motif" build
fails to start with the same error.

Can someone please help me figure out the reason for this failure?

Many thanks in advance.
