NPE during eclipse start on "Initializing Java Tooling" [closed]

Just installed eclipse 3.6.2 JDK 1.6.0 update 24. And followed instructions on http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing.html

But eclipsed is failing with NPE. Also repros with eclipse 3.5.2

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Here is the log:

Resolved!

Uff, I had projects in older eclipse installation which I think were throwing error with new installation.

Learning: Switch to new the workspace with new eclipse install.
