Description stefan berger

After updating in "Help", "new Update" i can't start eclipse anymore.
Everthing is downloaded. But when i want to start eclipse: the splashscreen and 
the complete installation screen alternating (loop). This process can't be 
stopped. No log file is written nor other information are avaible.

I don't like to reinstall eclipse. (I have to spend more then half day to 
configure the system !)

Stefan, can you provide more details about what you updated ?
The bug is opened on 2.1.1, so was it to Eclipse 2.1.2 ?

I cannot reproduce this problem based on the bug description. If you can 
describe steps to reproduce the splash loop please re-open the bug.
