    It's a mystery. But it's not just one project. It's everything. Once
    it happens, the only thing that I have found that gets Eclipse
    working again is to reinstall the operating system. I've decided to
    create a partition devoted to WO/Eclipse and nothing else and hope to
    heaven that the conflict isn't with a stock install OS X system. The
    only other factor I've yet to eliminate is that I tried the all-in-
    one WO installer in the past and maybe that has left a corrupted file
    somewhere. I'm just hand-waving at this point though. I have NO IDEA
    what could be causing this. The only thing giving me hope is that
    there was at least one other person that experienced this exact
    behaviour on a new MacBook Pro. Fortunately this has all happened on
    my "hobby" box. Otherwise I would have already gone out the window ;-)
