Eclipse does not start, there is no Workspace, metadata or log file created
===========================================================================

A possible cause for this could be the lack of access rights to all, part or one of the files under ``$DVT_HOME``.

**Solution**:

-  check the log in the **~/user'shome/.eclipse/org.eclipse.platform_/configuration/.log** and see what is the file that can not be accessed
-  make sure that you have **rx rights** on all files & folders under ``$DVT_HOME``
