Description Laird Brown

After exiting Eclipse Europa the process continues to run locking the workspace folder.  Upon restart, I receive an "Workspace Unavailable" error.  The process has to be manually killed with 'kill -9 <pid>' to be able to restart Eclipse.

Which Eclipse build did you download from eclipse.org? Or did you get Eclipse from your distribution's package management system? Which distro are you on? Did Eclipse ever work correctly?

Sorry, I didn't get Comment #1.  My laptop has since died so close the issue. Thanks.
