(this is related to 3.0.1 not 3.0.0 ..... posting here on Karl's request ..) I did two things to resolve my problem .. of course I had to do two things to force myself another rebuild if I want to give a defintive result here .. USE=-mozilla emerge =dev-util/eclipse-3.0.1 this gave me a working eclipse .. no I've no idea if it was the mozilla flag breaking it or the -r1 .. bah ..
ok .. 3.0.1-r1 without mozilla still burns down on start with same 3 page spam ..
I think I figured out the problem and came up with a fix. Wait a few hours, then sync and reinstall 3.0.1-r1, check that it's from 2004/10/09 or later. If the problem persist, please reopen this bug.
