Re: Eclipse launching problems

I checked the .log file inside of the workspaces directory and saw that
there was a exception from the SAX processor. First thing that came to
mind was a classpath problem since I have some xml jars in my
~/Library/Java/Extensions/ directory. Sure enough as soon as removed the
XML jars from that location Eclipse started up and ran just fine.

Thanks for the help guys! :)

Keep in mind that although the workspaces dir is 'empty' it's not. If
you open up the console navigate to the dir and do ls -al you will see
hidden directories starting with a . so don't be fooled thinking it's
empty.
