I am one of the project owners for Subclipse. If you happened to do this yesterday and installed Subclipse 0.9.35 then you should grab the 0.9.36 release that was posted today. We found a couple of nasties in 0.9.35 and issued a new release.
w/r/t the JVM melting there at the end, you might try running something besides gcj. Just today I installed the Sun 1.5 JDK on Breezy, and it seemed to run SwingSet2 fine. I plan to try Eclipse out on it in the next few days. I haven’t tracked gcj in a while, and wasn’t sure I was up for experimenting with it. Though it’s certainly nice that it’s actually included in Ubuntu!
You know I didn’t even notice the details of your error the first time. I just wanted to make sure you had the latest version.
I think the other poster is correct. I have seen references before that GCJ has problems running Eclipse. Try using a different JDK. I have had success with Blackdown and Sun on Hoary.
Hi — has anyone been able to get Eclipse to work with Breezy? I’m getting the same error. Is it a Java version issue? I looked on Synaptic and couldn’t find Java 1.5. I’m such a total noob on Linux!
I had the same problem when running then GCJ Java VM. The problem went away when I used the Sun VM. Note that even though I set up the Sun VM as the default, Eclipse still ran with the GCJ one until I explicitly used the -vm command line option:

Here is a quick fix for running Eclipse as it is installed by apt-get. This issue seems to be that the feature.xml file is in an unexpected directory. I went to /usr/lib/eclipse/features and typed:
sudo ln -s org.eclipse.rcp.source_3.1. 1 org.eclipse.rcp_3.1.1
After this, I was able to run the updates successfully.
