I am a new with Eclipse and I've try to use only the first time. I am working

Eclipse cannot start at all. Hear is a log file:

While the error is fast the same as bug 47927, I have tried all recommendation 
are presented in the error-discussion.Nothing is helped.
I have tried also the newest Versions of Eclipse and different Versions of SDK 
but :(((((. So I cannot start Eclipse at all. Where could be the problem?

Additional information:
This probem only occured when I try to start Eclipse from Reflection xterm. 
When I use xdmcp connection the Eclipse runs. The problem is the same as in the 
bug 37950, i.e with fonts. As workaround I have used the fontserver connection 
like tcp/host:port in the preference of Reflection. But problem self exists.

Looks like a duplicate of bug 30334. Let the Platform/UI team know if this is
still a problem in the latest builds.
