Opened this bug to release fix to Juno. +++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #349105 +++ While stess testing Indigo RC4 packages (Java EE IDE) and while trying to reproduce bug 349073 (which I could not) I did once see a seemingly bad error, that left my installation in some sort of state where it would not restart. Worse, there was no error log where it told be to go check for errors. On restart after installing a bunch of stuff (and subsequent attempts) I get an error dialog that said "An error has occurred. See the log file /home/davidw/.eclipse/org.eclipse.platform_3.7.0_692754952/configuration/1307756571714.log" but no log there. And ... the main reason I'm opening this bug ... I was surprised by some of the error messages left in workspace log during the "install everything" phase of the test ... and they might be related to the error state? Many messages are similar to !ENTRY org.eclipse.equinox.p2.touchpoint.natives 4 0 2011-06-10 21:36:30.274 !MESSAGE org.eclipse.equinox.internal.p2.touchpoint.natives.actions.UnzipAction error unzipping zipfile: /home/davidw/.eclipse/o rg.eclipse.platform_3.7.0_692754952/p2/org.eclipse.equinox.p2.core/cache/binary/org.eclipse.xtext.ui_root_2.0.0.v201106070531des tination: /usr/local/eclipseIndigoRC4 I think that is saying it is trying to use as destination /usr/local/eclipseIndigoRC4, which, as you might guess, is my "shared installed" and indeed me as "user" does not have write access there ... so, I'm surprised anything is trying to unzip something there. (and, unzip failures might even be related to the "too many files open" problem I was initially investigating, if so wanted to be sure to capture the log, and info, in case it helps.
Fixed in HEAD.
