Hi!

I can't launch Eclipse. This error pops up:

I've got the same problem with version 2.1.1 .
I 've tried two jvm's: Suns j2sdk v1.4.1_01 and IBMs Java2-SDK v1.3.1,
but they both produce the same error.
My CLASSPATH variable is set empty. 

I use Debian-woody and have KDE 2.2.2 as a windowmanager.
