This appears to be workspace specific because it is only in one workspace that I have this problem. Here is the stack trace: java.lang.ClassFormatError: Illegal UTF8 string in constant pool in class file org/eclipse/jdt/internal/compiler/ast/ExplicitConstructorCall at

Could you please provide steps to reproduce? build ID? Would it be possible to get the corresponding .class file for ExplicitConstructorCall? Thanks.
For me it is very easy to reproduce. I just open up any java file in this workspace and I get the initialization error. I can open text files and xml files without any difficulty and I can use a different workspace without any problems. In trying to extract the class file out of the JAR file, I get a file size error and I am unable to extract it. The jar file is org.eclipse.jdt.core_3.2.0.v_671.jar and its creation and modification timestamps are both Tuesday, July 18, 2006, 9:20:30 AM. Since it appears to be corrupted, an update should correct the problem.
Indeed it seems that the jar is corrupted. Could you please try to override it with a new one and let us know if this is fixing the problem? Thanks. For now I close as WORKSFORME since it appears to be due to a corrupted jar. Therefore there is nothing we can do to fix it.
Updating to the latest version, fixed the problem.
