Eclipse won't start -- possible due to new JRE install

Environment:

Windows XP
Eclipse Java EE Juno

One day I tried starting Eclipse: I clicked my shortcut to Eclipse The usual splash screen and workspace chooser appeared. I choose a workspace. I got the following error:

An error has occurred. See the log file
C:\local-work\Java\.metadata\.log

The log file contains a long list of exceptions. See end of this posting for complete listing.

The last thing I remember doing that might have caused this problem was downloading a new version of the jre (jre1.6.0_01) through one of those automatic download popups from Oracle.

I tried looking in the jre directory but it was corrupted so I downloaded it again. I got the same error when starting Eclipse so I uninstalled Eclipse then installed it again but the issue persists. I've also tried creating a new workspace.

Additional information: I was using JDK 1.7 to run my projects. I've seen similar posts to this, but they don't contain solutions that work for my case.

Here is the start of the log. I had to delete a lot in order to post this message.

Go to cmd prompt check java version by typing java -version it will be show you java1.7 but in your path you have given jdk1.6. type path it will show you the path which is given by you. then check the all path which contains java.exe, javac.exe or javaw.exe delete it and start the eclipse.

Generally this files should be c:\windows or c:\windows\system32.

It turns out my Java installation was corrupt. I examined the log file in the .metadata directory and it hinted at a bad currency code. I uninstalled the jdk and reinstalled it. Then I did the same for Eclipse and it's working fine now. I have no idea how the Java installation could have gotten corrupted.
