Too many issues to simply be bugs IMHO.

Is your installation corrupted ? Aren't these VM issues ? Also see bug 71987

Passing onto UI component, which owns the editor piece.

Maybe you downloaded and installed over an existing release? In addition please
use the provided launcher to start eclipse instead of doing it directly using
java.exe. Also verify that you downloaded Eclipse SDK and not Platform SDK.

It's not clear which version of Ubuntu you are running, but Eclipse should 
work with GCJ 4.0 or higher.  If you are having problems of this sort, it is 
likely an Ubuntu packaging problem either with GCJ or Eclipse.  You might want 
to check out 
"https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+sources/eclipse/+bug/3074", as it seems 
somewhat similar.

Hi Greg,

I had the same problem while running eclipse on jdk 1.4 but when I installed jdk 1.5 everything was working fine. I hope this solves your problem in case it wasn't already solved.
