A couple suggestions:

if it never worked, try with a different JDK (try with a JDK5 for instance)
if it was working:
- try with an eclipse.exe -clean (see "How to run eclipse in clean mode? and what happens if we do so?")
- try with a separate fresh installation
try also with a custom eclipse.ini like this one.
