Eclipse does not open

Question

I've installed Eclipse 3.8 through Ubuntu Software Center and when I open it the loading window pops up and freezes. Eclipse never opens... When I try to launch eclipse from Terminal it doesn't show anything, no errors, nothing, it just freezes...Though I get a log file in my home folder:

The versions in the Launchpad Archives are always out of date and often problematic. Go to Eclipse's website and download the latest version (4.4 Luna currently).
