Created attachment 100094 [details]
The log file, originally at ~/workspace/.metadata/.log

This happens on a newly-downloaded tarball of the Eclipse IDE for RCP/Plug-In Developers, for Linux x86_64 (GTK) (this: http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/technology/epp/downloads/release/ganymede/M7/eclipse-rcp-ganymede-M7-linux-gtk-x86_64.tar.gz  ):

1. I unroll the tarball into /opt/eclipse-ganymedeM7
2. I cd into /opt/eclipse-ganymedeM7, and start up eclipse (./eclipse)

The ganymede splash screen appears for around 30s, and eventually I get a series of 8 lines similar to:

Artifact repository out of sync. Overwriting /opt/eclipse-ganymedeM7/plugins/org.eclipse.wst.validation.infopop_1.0.202.v200706110217.jar

I assume these are legit.  However, after this, a dialog pops up telling me "An error has occurred. See the log file ..."

I've attached the log file, which contains somewhat alarming messages such as "Product org.eclipse.sdk.ide could not be found." and "No application id has been found."

Note: this may be related to 231974, but the behaviour described there is slightly different.

Could you please check (and confirm) if this bug is the same as bug 231178?
I.e. it seems to me that you renamed the 'eclipse' directory before starting eclipse for the first time?

Yep, this is a duplicate of bug 231178 -- marking it as such.

I actually originally had M7 extracted into /opt/eclipse-ganymedeM7/eclipse/, but figured that looked silly, and moved it all up a level :) I didn't want to put it in /opt/eclipse/, since that's where europa lives on my system.

Thanks for the quick attention -- simply leaving it in /opt/eclipse-ganymedeM7/eclipse/ is a reasonable workaround.
