I'm sure out this problem but I also see the problem described in bug # 207442. Can you try the recommended solution there?
That should say "I *not* sure about this problem ..."
Created attachment 136908 [details] Log file Another log from the workspace/.metadata/.log file
Installing eclipse-sdk did not work for me btw. I thought this comment would be added when I added the log.
Can you try starting eclipse with a new workspace?
I've been removing my workspace every time I start eclipse. Also removing the .eclipse directory as well.
Nurdin: is this still broken for you?
nope it was fixed on an update. Or at least I updated and the problem went away.

Created attachment 138177 [details] Log file for October 10, 2006 And it's broken again with this log. I tried a complete wipeout and reinstall of eclipse, no dice. [npremji@tow npremji]$ grep eclipse.product /usr/share/eclipse/configuration/config.ini eclipse.product=org.eclipse.sdk.ide # the identified eclipse.product defines the default application to run. [npremji@tow npremji]$ rpm -qa | grep eclipse eclipse-ecj-3.2.1-4.fc6 eclipse-subclipse-1.1.5-2.fc6 eclipse-jdt-sdk-3.2.1-4.fc6 eclipse-cdt-3.1.1-1.fc6 eclipse-gef-sdk-3.2.0-2 eclipse-gef-3.2.0-2 eclipse-platform-sdk-3.2.1-4.fc6 eclipse-subclipse-book-1.1.5-2.fc6 eclipse-pde-3.2.1-4.fc6 eclipse-rcp-3.2.1-4.fc6 eclipse-bugzilla-0.2.4-3.fc6 eclipse-changelog-2.3.2-1.fc6 eclipse-pde-runtime-3.2.1-4.fc6 eclipse-pde-sdk-3.2.1-4.fc6 eclipse-platform-3.2.1-4.fc6 eclipse-cdt-sdk-3.1.1-1.fc6 eclipse-sdk-3.2.1-4.fc6 eclipse-rcp-sdk-3.2.1-4.fc6 eclipse-jdt-3.2.1-4.fc6 eclipse-gef-examples-3.2.0-2
Remove ~/.eclipse and try running again with a new workspace. Thanks.
Uh I did that as well, sorry I didn't mention.
What architecture are you using?
Also, what version of gcj are you using?

I have an i386 box with the same software [1] and I can't reproduce your problem. [1] % rpm -q gcc-java libgcj eclipse-sdk java-1.4.2-gcj-compat gcc-java-4.1.1-28 libgcj-4.1.1-28 eclipse-sdk-3.2.1-4.fc6 java-1.4.2-gcj-compat-1.4.2.0-40jpp.109
As of this morning's yum update which updated the filesystem package eclipse is working again. (Not entirely sure if that was the specific package that fixed it but I think it might be as eclipse used to complain the filesystem couldn't handle locking.) I guess the thing to do is make sure filesystem guys run eclipse to test locking :)
Ok, let's close the bug for now. Feel free to re-open it if you hit it again.
Created attachment 138577 [details] Update log for October 16, 2006 So it broke again, I don't think its an eclipse bug but here is the update log of what I just updated, please help me find which of these packages is messing with eclipse. Thank you.
Created attachment 138683 [details] Yet another update log, leads me to believe this is a kernel issue. So on my update today things have started working again, the only things that were successfully updated were the kernel, so I assume this is a kernel issue.
I still can't reproduce this bug so I'm closing it again. Please re-open this bug if this crops up again.
Created attachment 140688 [details] update log for November 8, 2006 I've installed fc6 official rather than going with devel and as of today something is broken which gives back the same locking error message. This is the most recent update I'll post more going back to Nov 2, when I reinstalled.

Since you're the only person that is having this problem and I can't reproduce it, there's not much I can do to help here. Sorry.
Just archiving more information about this issue that Andrew found: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=44735#c51 https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=59780
Starting statd with '/etc/init.d/nfslock start' fixed the problem.
Closing bug since it's not an eclips bug.
