There seems to be an issue with the Resource Bundle Editor Plugin for Eclipse. (http://sourceforge.net/projects/eclipse-rbe/)

I installed version 0.7.7 into a fresh install of the Eclipse 3.3 SDK and was unable to open a resource file. I would get the following error:

view plain print about
1Can't start the AWT because Java was started on
2the first thread. Make sure StartOnFirstThread is not specified in your
3application's Info.plist or on the command line

To fix it I edited the eclipse.ini file (/Applications/eclipse/Eclipse.app/Contents/MacOS/eclipse.ini by default) to add the following line:

view plain print about
1-Djava.awt.headless=true

Once I did that it was fine and I was able to edit the resource bundles.

Hope this helps someone searching for the issue!
