Java – eclipse no longer starts

Eclipse has worked well as long as I remember, but now it refuses to start

The log file in the workspace displays the following I'm using Fedora 18 Any ideas?

Solution

Go to the eclipse folder path at the command prompt (shell)

or

Delete the old workbench (copy all items in it first) Start eclipse
