Bug#685440: Seems to be a workspace problem

I encountered this problem too.  It seems to be a problem with my 
workspace, because if I rename the workspace directory, Eclipse starts 
without problems (and creates a new empty workspace).

If I start Eclipse with the options "-consoleLog" and "-debug", I get 
some exception messages:

!MESSAGE Perspective Java has been made into a local copy
----------

I looked for information about the CompilationUnitEditor exception, and 
found a Red Hat bug page that may be relevant:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=773132

However, that bug says it's a problem with the ~/.eclipse directory, and 
I'm able to start Eclipse with my existing ~/.eclipse directory as long 
as I don't try to use my existing workspace.
