Can't start Eclipse 3.2 in FC6

[silfreed]

I had been using Eclipse in FC5 with a number of external plugins (GEF, EMF, PHPEclipse, subclipse, WTP) and had been working fine. I knew that I would have to get rid of these for the upgrade to FC6, so I uninstalled all eclipse RPMs, removed the /usr/share/eclipse and /usr/lib/eclipse directories as well as ~/.eclipse. After installing the packages I wanted, things won't start correctly. I get the following error:


An error has occurred. See the log file /home/silfreed/workspace/.metadata/.log.

Here's some additional info.

I figured this one out - apparently clearing out /usr/share/eclipse was a bad idea because other packages had files there. Specifically, libswt3-gtk2. After reinstalling this file everything seems good.
