I'm really stuck with this one.

This eclipse-cdt FTBFS is always reproducible on amd64 and i386; I have 
not tried on other platforms.

Trying to build eclipse-cdt leads to:

Replacing gij with Sun's VM produces the very same error, but adding 
/usr/share/java/ant-launcher.jar before /usr/lib/eclipse/startup.jar 
makes the compilation work like a charm.

Unfortunately this does not change anything for gij... Looking for 
System.exit(13) in eclipse's code does reveal:

> plugins/org.eclipse.osgi/eclipseAdaptor/src/org/eclipse/core/runtime/internal/adaptor/EclipseErrorHandler.java:88

which is inside handleRuntimeError(). But I have not been able to attach 
a debugger to see what's the root cause of this, so I can't tell if it's 
relevant.

Does anybody know how to dig a little further?
Thanks,

Thomas
