Eclipse won't start

I had Eclipse installed for a while and was ok, but now it refuses to start.  I get the following when launching Eclipse from the prompt:

Error occurred during initialization of VM
java/lang/NoClassDefFoundError: java/lang/Object

Or when starting from the menu:

JVM terminated. Exit code=1
/opt/java/bin/java
-Xms40m
-Xmx256m
-jar /opt/eclipse/startup.jar
-os linux
-ws gtk
-arch x86
-launcher /opt/eclipse/eclipse
-name Eclipse
-showsplash 600
-exitdata 29a0008
-vm /opt/java/bin/java
-vmargs
-Xms40m
-Xmx256m
-jar /opt/eclipse/startup.jar

PATHs seems ok.  I have a feeling it has something to do with my jdk that was upgraded earlier this month.  I remove/reinstalled both jdk and eclipse and still won't work

Any suggestion anyone?

Re: Eclipse won't start

My eclipse is working just fine.  Make sure your environment variables are set properly.  Here are mine:

JAVA_HOME=/opt/java
J2SDKDIR=/opt/java
J2REDIR=/opt/java/jre
CLASSPATH=:/opt/java/lib:/opt/java/jre/lib

Re: Eclipse won't start

Have you tried running it with the -clean flag?

Re: Eclipse won't start

QueueRAM, my variables are exactly like yours.

BP, the -clean flag give me the same error.
