Eclipse won't launch from clean install on OSX Mountain Lion

Question

I am using a 27" iMac running OSX 10.8.2 with the latest Eclipse package (4.2.0) downloaded from http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/ (Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers, Mac OS X 64 Bit). I extracted the downloaded file, it created a directory called "eclipse".

Inside that directory I double-click the Eclipse application. It runs for 2 seconds or so, displaying the splash screen, then dies with the message "An error has occurred. See the log file configuration 1351540676859.log for details."

Opening that log revealed the following stack trace:
