Bug 21346

Description Greg Adams 2002-07-08 11:56:16 EDT

Running eclipse twice yield a non helpful error dialog and an exception into 
the log. This should be caught and a meaningful dialog presented to the user 
telling them they may already be running it.

Error Dialog:	"problems during startup. Check the ".log" file in 
the  ".metadata" directory of your workspace.
