[Solved]Eclipse IDE will not start

Hey, I'm having trouble trying to get Eclipse Java IDE to start. When I go to open the program I am greeted by this message.

I'm lost on what to do, any help is appreciated.

Try launching eclipse from a terminal - it should echo back the actual error to the terminal.

Sorry about that. I tried changing my theme and eclipse still didn't start. I would of posted the text from the window, but I was unable to copy it for some reason.

Re: [Solved]Eclipse IDE will not start

What version of Eclipse? Of Java? Is your system fully up-to-date? etc...
