Eclipse fail at launching on Mac OSX
Try deleting:
/YOUR PATH TO WORKSPACE/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.resources
Finally, I have solved my problem by myself.
I "simply" re-installed Java. The manipulation is a bit tricky because Java is a part of OSX System and it not supposed to be uninstalled.
How to uninstall Java on OSX?
Download the last update from Apple website (Java for OS X Lion Update 1 - http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1421)
Delete /Library/Java, /System/Library/Java, Library/Caches/Java folders
Open the Terminal with root (sudo -s)
Terminal:
pkgutil --packages | grep java
Terminal:
pkgutil --forget com.apple.pkg.xxxxx
(everything about Java)Insert the Mac OS X DVD
Terminal:
installer -verbose -pkg "/Volumes/Mac OS X Install DVD/System/Installation/Packages/Java.pkg" -target "/Volumes/Macintosh HD"
Terminal:
installer -verbose -pkg "/Volumes/Mac OS X Install DVD/System/Installation/Packages/JavaTools.pkg" -target "/Volumes/Macintosh HD"
Install the Java for OS X previously downloaded
Reboot
Software update if needed.

try some of the suggestions here: my eclipse stopped working today
especially using terminal to run
./eclipse -clean
other potential solutions are these:
When downloading all the Eclipse/Java parts, be sure to save and unpack to an HFS+ partition. If you have, say, a FAT32 partition and save/unpack to there, that will cause installation problems (it happened to me).
Also, there may be issues with the 32-bit/64-bit installers.. be sure to pick the right one
