had to reinstall eclipse on my laptop, i completely removed eclipse using synaptic, then reinstall eclipse
then eclipse would not start, crashed right away
i didn't track how many times i removed and reinstalled eclipse using synaptic and apt-get; googled tons of pages and wasted hours of trying this and that. the thing is, i have same setup on my desktop pc and it works!
finally dawned on me, in synaptic, use search on "eclipse" and remove all eclipse* PLUS libecj-java, libequinox*; reinstall and eclipse's working again.
just removing eclipse* without the 2 lib* messed up the reinstall.
maybe this will save someone some time.
