I am having tons of issues starting starting eclipse.  It freezes when loading the com.salesforce.ide.core plugin.  I am running:

VMware workstation 8

SUSE 12.1 x64

Java 1.6.0_24 x64

My eclipse setting is:

-startup
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.3.0.v20120522-1813.jar
--launcher.library
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.gtk.linux.x86_64_1.1.200.v20120522-1813
-product
org.eclipse.epp.package.jee.product
--launcher.defaultAction
openFile
-showsplash
org.eclipse.platform
--launcher.XXMaxPermSize
256m
--launcher.defaultAction
openFile
-vmargs
-XX:PermSize=128m
-Xms40m
-XX:MaxPermSize=1024m
-Xmx1924m
-Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.5
-Dhelp.lucene.tokenizer=standard

I am able to start up fine when I move my workspace/.metadata file and it locks up again when I move it back.

Can anyone assist?

Thank you

I am using the latest version of the Force.com IDE 64-bit for Windows.  Every time I attempt to edit a page the application locks and will not respond.  Here is a dump of the log file.  This is a vanilla install straight from Force.com.
