I've installed eclipse but it won't launch. I tried launching from the app launcher and with the terminal and I keep getting this error:

An error has occurred. See the log file /home/kreshendo/.eclipse/org.eclipse.platform_3.7.0_155965261/configuration/1339994725811.log.

I can post the log information if you need it.

Did you install Eclipse via the Ubuntu Software Center? Since it's never up to date there, you should donwload it from the Eclipse website. 3.7.2 is the latest, you seem to be running 3.7.0... After having unpacked the data to whatever place you want you can launch it by running the eclipse executable (purple with two gears for an icon). Unfortunately it doesn't really support being added to the launcher that way. You can of course create a desktop shortcut to the eclipse executable.
