This solution worked for me.

As noted in the bug reports, it affects all plugins, not just Subclipse, and the workaround is to make the eclipse install dir owned/writable by the user who is running eclipse.

1. Right click your eclipse folder, choose Properties-Security-Advanced
2. Click Owner, Edit
3. Check if Current owner is user you are running eclipse with.
4. (If not, check "Replace owner on subcontainers and objects", click your user, and click OK to apply.)
