Re: Eclipse quit working (SOLVED!)

I took Greg's advice and created a new user account.  Then I started moving my files and directories to the new account, running Eclipse once in a while.  Finally, it quit working.

The offending file turned out to be 'gnujaxp.jar' in my ~/Library/Java/Extensions directory.  Without knowing the internals of Eclipse I can't think of any other way I could have solved this problem.

Is this a bug?  It was there because another application required it.  I don't know right now which application that is, but if I still use it, I'm sure it will crash as well, for the opposite reason, sometime in the future.

Is someone at Eclipse seeing this group?  Does anyone know how to avoid library conflicts?  Is there any way a better error message could have been generated?  All idle questions, but interesting. 

Thanks for the help,

   duane
