Can't open Eclipse in OS X

Question

I did an apple update today, and now Eclipse won't open.

I downloaded Eclipse again, and replaced my old copy with the fresh download, and nothing improved.

Any ideas?

I'm running Eclipse 3.5 for EE in Mac Snow Lepeard.

Here are some of the details provided:

Answer 1

I can't claim I understand it, but all I had to do was fix the symbolic links(1.5 and 1.5.0) to the JDK 5 install I have, as described in this link.

Answer 2

Thank you! Following the instruction on the link provided worked for me as well!
