Jakub,
I tried your suggestion and got exactly the same error, details below. This isn't surprising since the eclipse 3.8 blob from eclipse.org runs perfectly on my system, so any packages needed for eclipse 3.8 had to be already present. Here are the details: +++-====================================-====================================-======================================================================================== ii libfelix-gogo-command-java 0.12.0-1 Apache Felix Gogo Command bundle un libfelix-gogo-command-java-doc <none> (no description available) ii libfelix-gogo-runtime-java 0.10.0-1 Apache Felix Gogo Runtime bundle un libfelix-gogo-runtime-java-doc <none> (no description available) ii libfelix-gogo-shell-java 0.10.0-1 Apache Felix Gogo Shell bundle un libfelix-gogo-shell-java-doc <none> (no description available) ii libservlet3.0-java 7.0.28-2 Servlet 3.0 and JSP 2.2 Java API classes ii libtomcat7-java 7.0.28-2 Servlet and JSP engine -- core libraries ii eclipse 3.8.0~rc4-1 Extensible Tool Platform and Java IDE jack@berkeley:~ => eclipse -console -consoleLog -noExit !SESSION 2012-08-11 19:34:09.365 ----------------------------------------------- eclipse.buildId=unknown java.version=1.7.0_05 java.vendor=Oracle Corporation BootLoader constants: OS=linux, ARCH=x86, WS=gtk, NL=en_US Command-line arguments: -os linux -ws gtk -arch x86 -console -consoleLog !ENTRY org.eclipse.osgi 4 0 2012-08-11 19:34:09.633 !MESSAGE Could not find bundle: org.eclipse.equinox.console !STACK 0 org.osgi.framework.BundleException: Could not find bundle: org.eclipse.equinox.console at org.eclipse.osgi.framework.internal.core.ConsoleManager.checkForConsoleBundle(ConsoleManager.java:211) at org.eclipse.core.runtime.adaptor.EclipseStarter.startup(EclipseStarter.java:297) at org.eclipse.core.runtime.adaptor.EclipseStarter.run(EclipseStarter.java:176) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(Unknown Source) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(Unknown Source) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Unknown Source) at org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.Main.invokeFramework(Main.java:629) at org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.Main.basicRun(Main.java:584) at org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.Main.run(Main.java:1438) !ENTRY org.eclipse.osgi 4 0 2012-08-11 19:34:09.639 !MESSAGE Application error !STACK 1 java.lang.IllegalStateException: Unable to acquire application service.

Looking at the dependencies of org.eclipse.equinox.console, could you please check that you have installed the latest versions of these packages available in Debian testing? libfelix-gogo-command-java libfelix-gogo-shell-java libservlet3.0-java libtomcat7-java Eclipse is not declaring a dependency on any particular version of these packages so you might have an old, incompatible one. Our list of required packages should be updated in this case. > !ENTRY org.eclipse.osgi 4 0 2012-08-10 23:05:56.972 > !MESSAGE Application error > !STACK 1 > java.lang.IllegalStateException: Unable to acquire application service. > Ensure that the org.eclipse.core.runtime bundle is resolved and started (see > config.ini). > at > org.eclipse.core.runtime.internal.adaptor.EclipseAppLauncher.start(EclipseAppLauncher.java:74) > at > org.eclipse.core.runtime.adaptor.EclipseStarter.run(EclipseStarter.java:353) > at > org.eclipse.core.runtime.adaptor.EclipseStarter.run(EclipseStarter.java:180) > at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) > at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(Unknown Source) > at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(Unknown Source) > at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Unknown Source) > at org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.Main.invokeFramework(Main.java:629) > at org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.Main.basicRun(Main.java:584) > at org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.Main.run(Main.java:1438) Looks only as a consequence of previous error(s).
