No, Eclipse actually started just fine. It occurred maybe two or three
minutes after launch, and it occurred at least twice.

It's not a huge deal, as I avoid Eclipse whenever humanly possible, and
now that I'm (hopefully) done with 6.005, I (hopefully) won't be needing
it again for a while. I'm a little hesitant to report a bug to the
Eclipse team, as I suspect their first response will be "try upgrading
to Helios and see if it still breaks." I'll keep my eyes open, though,
and if I can identify any more useful information regarding this issue,
I'll be sure to pass it along.
Thanks very much,
Benjamin
