(Today is the 22nd of November).

Which version are you trying to run ?

[Sal Ammoniac]

Try asking on the Eclipse forum. You're more likely to find someone who can help over there.

It could also be a very old version of Eclipse. I'd use google to find the answer.

solved 

the problem was related to java

the installed JRE was "too new"
I reinstalled v5 u55 and everything
is now working fine
