Description of problem:
Running Eclipse as root completely hangs the system (1 x Pentium4 HT 2600MHz, maybe it's because of the smp).
When I run it again (as root, after forced reboot) I get an error message saying to see details in a log file. On that log file there's written as follows:

If I can't run it as root, it's supposed I must install a copy of new plugins for every user...

Running it as normal user (after doing all I've written before) I get the same error.

I had to uninstall eclipse and all its depedancies, erase /usr/share/eclipse dir and install it again. Now it runs good (only as normal user).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
3.1.0_fc-0.M6.22

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run eclipse as root. The system completely hangs.
2. Restart eclipse after forced reboot
3. I get that error
  

Actual Results:  System hang, wrong configuration.

Expected Results:  Eclipse run perfectly

Additional info:

Running on a SMP kernel (1 x Pentium 4 HyperThreading 2600MHz)
