In my humbly biased :-P opinion, it would be hard not to.

Almost certainly the root of all evil for you.

What are you missing? It sounds like you are not getting all the
pieces from Callisto.

Pieces of Eclipse must be missing. If Issue #1 is not resolved, then
WOLips can't start and you get, well, pretty much nothing useful out
of Eclipse. It might be the build you are trying to install. None
of this is fully cooked, release quality code so sometimes things
just get hosed. My approach is to find a build that is stable for me
and then stay there for a while.

You need to go back the early steps and try again / figure out what
failed / delete it all and try again / wait until tomorrow. Sorry,
bleeding edge beta software can be painful at times.
