Can't get Eclipse from extra repo to work

Hi

After a long time I have to code an app in Java, so I want to install Eclipse because I know my way around that IDE. I found it in the extra repo, but when trying to run it I get an error

An error has occurred. See the log file ~/workspace/.metadata/.log.

The mentioned file has has the following in it:

!SESSION 2010-01-06 13:37:21.459 -----------------------------------------------

Command-line arguments:  -os linux -ws gtk -arch x86

Can anyone make sense out of this? It looks as if the swt library is missing but that isn't a dependency of eclipse. I tried to install the swt package from the repo but that doesn't help. I also get the same error with jre+jdk and openjdk6.

EDIT: I also tried deleting ~/.eclipse and starting with a clean workspace directory, didn't help.

Re: Can't get Eclipse from extra repo to work

That's a good idea. I've looked at this post every time it comes up (obviously don't know the problem, and neither does anyone else I think).
