Strange eclipse 3 problem

[Achilleus Mantzios]

Hi,  
i run into a bizzard situation when starting eclipse from the ordinary 
dev user (me!) as i used to in the eclipse 2 days (yesterday!).

I get at the very begining:

With newly created users i have no problem starting (and having a 1st 
feel of) eclipse3.

All quotas are ok, filesystems have plenty of space, permissions are ok,
no acls present.

Any ideas from people that have been into eclipse code?
