Hi Haakon,

thanks for your bug report. In order to get Eclipse3 to run, you need 
the CVS head and to run it with the following line (for 3.1.0):

/path-to/bin/kaffe -mx 128M 
-Djava.library.path=plugins/org.eclipse.swt.gtk_3.1.0/os/linux/x86/ 
-Dosgi.locking=none -cp startup.jar org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main -os 
linux -ws gtk -consolelog

the osgi.locking property is very important, as you've found out ;)

cheers,
