Bug Description

The issue appears on startup and eclipse works only if you run it using "sudo eclipse". Then, you can launch it as a normal user without any problem. I think that eclipse needs to write some configuration states during the first run in the install directory, that's why it needs super user mode for the first time.

I met the same problem about two weeks ago. "sudo eclipse" helped that time and it worked fine. Today I met the problem again but "sudo eclipse" did not help this time. I have no idea why it stoppet to work. I don't remember I did any changes in the meantime. Maybe I updated all precise packages to latest versions.
I tried to purge all eclipse configuration, purge the packeges and install them again but nothing helped.
Including the log file that is generated during the eclipse start.
