Ubuntu 12.04 Eclipse Indigo wont start

Please help :( My Eclipse Indigo wont launch. It shows the small blue rectangle and then hangs on that. If I then bring another window infront of this the blue square is now grey. There is no error and there is no error log file in the .eclipse folder.

My Ubuntu 12.04 has been acting funny. The software installer doesnt work and there are errors in the update manager. I finally did command line -update using apt-get and since then my eclipse has been broken.

System :

Ubuntu 12.04 X 64

java -version

java version "1.7.0_11" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_11-b21) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 23.6-b04, mixed mode)

I've been burned in the past by the Eclipse package bundled in Ubuntu's repositories. I would recommend downloading directly from Eclipse's website and run from there.

If you're having problems launching the Ubuntu-version, extracting and running manually should give you some indication that the problem is with Java or Eclipse.
