Build Identifier: Unknown

I have been using eclipse every day for weeks on end.  I have not installed any new components into Eclipse.  Yesterday or the day before, I upgraded Apple Safari.  This morning, when I attempted start Eclipse, I got a model error message and then Eclipse exited.  This is what was placed in the log file:
