How is this problem related to Eclipse exactly?

Does the program run if you launch from the command line?
Comment 2 Harry Erwin CLA 2010-11-16 05:37:59 EST 
The same problem seems to occur with anything involving javax.swing. On the other hand, these programs run fine if launched from a jar file or from the command line.

What if you take the exact string from Eclipse and launch that from the command line?

It dies. Here's the launch string

Let me correct the version...

That worked. The message is that if you're upgrading to Java 6, you need to chase up the VM in the preferences...
Comment 6 Harry Erwin CLA 2010-11-16 06:33:11 EST 
When you move from Java 5 to Java 6, you have to fix the Eclipse preferences. Blame it on operator headspace.
