the official eclipse snapshot from eclipse.org runs fine with gcj (in
interpreted mode)

Can you please try the latest 3.1M6 packages and see if your issue persists?
Comment 4 Andrey Petrov 2005-04-20 18:52:07 UTC 
The latest rawhide build eclipse-platform-3.1.0_fc-0.M6.7 boots fine.

I'm able to get to the main window though the welcome tab contains the following
stacktrace instead of its ordinary content:

You may disregard my previous message about this stacktrace:

The problem went away when I removed the ~/.eclipse and ~/workspace folders
which were created in my home directory by the official eclipse.org distribution. 
I don't know if you consider the exceptions which occur if you run the official
m6 distribution and then the fc4 version to be bugs.
Comment 6 Andrew Overholt 2005-04-21 13:16:01 UTC 
We seem to get a lot of issues from files in ~/.eclipse.  With the work we're
doing on Eclipse bug 90535, hopefully we will get rid of ~/.eclipse for the vast
majority of users.

In terms of workspace issues when alternating between proprietary JVMs and
gcj/gij, I've seem this as well but haven't had time to track it down.  If you
could provide a test case for when this happens, that would help a lot.
Comment 7 Andrew Overholt 2005-04-26 20:25:34 UTC 
I guess we'll close for now.  Please re-open as you see fit.
