Can't start Eclipse on Mac OS X Lion 10.7.2

Hey all,

I hope I'm at the right place, I searched a lot for an answer, I even posted on different places including the Eclipse forums, no help there either.

The issue is in the title, simple issue it seems but I'm new to the mac world so i might need some help.

I would attach the the logs but i don't want to spam, so here is a link from a previous post i made

thanks a million

Any ideas what's going on ?

Try Xcode.

Eclipse works fine - I've run it here without issue so I can ensure you that it works. Second, it seems that you have Java installed so you're good on that front.

What version are you downloading? Are you getting the 32bit or 64bit version?

Yeah I tried on a colleuge's machine and it's smooth, I tried every possible version of Indigo and some Helios even .. How can restore Mac to a state where i can run this piece of software ? Time Machine wasn't running at the time : /
