I would get this error a lot when I first upgraded to FC4. I found a 
couple of commands from a Google search that tends to fix this up. I put 
it in a shell file. Here are the commands (they may wrap):

rm WSPATH/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.resources/.snap
rm
WSPATH/workspace/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.resources/.root/.markers.snap

where WSPATH is replaced by the path to your workspace, e.g. 
/home/shared/workspace

Also, the version of Eclipse that came with the original FC4 worked for 
me. The first update I did a few months back broke it. I ended up 
downloading the tar ball from the eclipse website and compiling it. It's 
worked great since then, even eliminating the above error.

Take care,
