Replying to myself, but I accidentally hit upon my problem, and thought it would bo only reasonable to let you know what it was. I was trying to hit all of the more obvious- last ditch problems, things that wouldlikely come back to me as dumb ideas, and I shouldn't be so crazy as to allow that. One last thing I tried was to reboot my System ... which didn't fix it, but DID put me in the singular position of finally being able to see the problem. You see, on the very first time I tried to restart eclipse after restarting FreeBSD (and X11, if that means anything), I got a java error regarding something being wrong with my setting of JAVA_HOME. I tried, and that error ONLY, ONLY shows on the very first eclipse startup attempt after a reboot. I reset JAVA_HOME to be the correct value left me by the usage of the ports/java/jdk1.6.0 port, and all of my startup problems with eclipse seem to have disappeared for now. Really pleasant to be able to say that FreeBSD is such a great java development platform. _______________________________________________ freebsd-java@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-java To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-java-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.9 (FreeBSD) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAklJVZwACgkQz62J6PPcoOlCmQCfSoV51FCnotZ0gxi9LCJROdwn X7YAoJE6g4/Webey0NIcou3+MiFFmg4t =1Owr -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
