Hi Felix,

!MESSAGE The artifact file for osgi.bundle,javax.servlet,2.5.0.v200806031605
was not found.

This should not happen, Eclipse 3.8 uses javax.servlet 3.0.0. Please paste here
the contents of your

  /usr/lib/eclipse/configuration/org.eclipse.equinox.simpleconfigurator/bundles.info

Maybe it wasn't updated for some reason.

Also please create an .options file somewhere, with following contents:

org.eclipse.equinox.p2.core/debug=true
org.eclipse.equinox.p2.core/reconciler=true
org.eclipse.equinox.p2.core/installregistry=true
org.eclipse.eclipse.p2.engine/engine/debug=true
osgi.checkConfiguration=true
org.eclipse.osgi/debug=true

Then run eclipse *from the same directory* where .options is placed, with these arguments:

/usr/lib/eclipse/eclipse -consoleLog -debug

This should produce more debug information. Start with empty ~/.eclipse.

Please check if you have installed the latest version of libservlet3.0-java from Debian testing.
Even better if you can get a list of all dependencies of eclipse-rcp package and installed versions.

Do you have any additional plugins installed?

Also check /usr/lib/eclipse/plugins for any broken symlinks.

Regards

Jakub
