[eclipse-dev] eclipse-SDK-2.0.2-solaris-motif fails to start on Solaris

["David, Lysander" <LDavid@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

After downloading and extracting eclipse-SDK-2.0.2-solaris-motif.zip 
on a Solaris 8 machine, a pop-up containing this text appears

Problems during startup.  Check the ".log" file
in the ".metadata" directory of your workspace.

The contents of the log are at the end.

Typing 

uname -a

on the sun box returns this:

SunOS bigbuild 5.8 Generic_108528-03 sun4u sparc

Typing

java -version

returns this

java version "1.4.1"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.1-b21)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.1-b21, mixed mode)

This also fails after typing this

unsetenv CLASSPATH

Please indicate what I need to do to not produce this error.

Thanks,

Lysander
