Hi everyone!

I had the same problem with Eclipse 3.2.1 under a clean install (upgrade) of Ubuntu Edgy AMD64 (but not under Edgy i386). I got it working, however, by removing the files in /usr/lib/eclipse (I did not delete /usr/lib/eclipse/links/ though) and then copying the files in eclipse-SDK-3.2.1-linux-gtk-x86_64.tar.gz which I got from the eclipse download site to that directory. I then removed my ~/workspace directory entirely, and then running eclipse with the -clean parameter.

I was even able to copy my a backed up workspace directory from a previous installation to my home directory and use that (after doing a rm -rf ~/workspace first).

I made no changes to my java vm inbetween any of those steps nor to anything in /etc/alternatives. I have JDK/JRE 1.5 installed.

I still get the message "Unable to create view: memmove" in the welcome pane when eclipse starts, but everything other than that seems to work fine, including plugins.

Hope this helps someone.
