Start of Eclipse fails after a plain new install

[ehaase]

I just have installed siduction/Mate on a new drive and added eclipse which fails at startup with following logfile entry on an intel I7 lenovo G50-70 laptop

!SESSION Mon Apr 16 20:27:50 CEST 2018 -----------------------------------------

Any idea? I'm not familiar with Java error messages...so have problems to fix this

Kind regards
