eclipse error log file

I can not start my eclipse session at all using my existing workspace. For some reason the eclipse window shuts down immediately after trying to initialise the workspace. The error log is attached

It looks like, from the log, you are trying to run "4.3.0" Eclipse, as it exists in JEE Package. 

And since you say you "just updated", I assume that means you were updating from 4.2.x? 

If that's true, then I'm afraid to say updating across yearly releases does not always work, especially for large packages, such as JEE, and especially when you have other's features installed, such has some JBoss plugins, in your case. 

I'd suggest you "start fresh" with a freshly downloaded version of "4.3.0", and then you can at least "get going" with something. 

If I am misreading your log, and you were trying to do something else, such as upgrade from 4.3.0 to 4.3.2, then I'd guess something didn't work right, and in the end, advice would be the same.

Before "reinstalling fresh" you can try reading the "known issues" with 4.3 to see if any apply to you, but I think that's be unlikely:
