This problem was introduced because of moving from tomcat5 tomcat (v7) bundles which introduced moving bundles around and p2 can't handle them properly. The workaround is to mv ~/.eclipse somewhere and restart eclipse, everything should be working but you will lose any plugins installed from update sites.
