What do you mean by "the problem started with 10.4.3"?
Do you mean you had 10.4.3 installed, where you first observed the Eclipse
problem, then you updated to 10.4.4 and it didn't solve the Eclipse problem?
In short, exactly what have you done to your machine since you FIRST
observed the Eclipse problem?

Exactly which version of Java 1.5? One of the DP's?

What are the permissions and ownership of:
/Users/dvs/Desktop/eclipse 3.2 M4/configuration/
and the directories leading up to it?

Repairing disk permissions won't normally change anything in a user-account
directory. That is, there are no "correct permissions" in that area, so
repairing can't and won't see anything it can fix.
Try creating a new user-account and running Eclipse under it. If it still
fails, then it's probably not a file-permission problem, or at least not a
simple one. It could be a file-permission problem in Eclipse itself, which
I don't know if Disk Utility can repair the permissions of or not. In any
case, that's just a guess.
Does Eclipse store any config files for global use? Could be the problem
lies there. Check in /Library/ for such things. Or find out all the files
Eclipse reads and writes during startup, and check each one of them for
permissions.
