Solution:
The cause of the occurrence of this error is , it it now able to find $DISPLAY varialbe. So better setup $DISPLAY , environemt variable. Other possibility is your VNC has disabled xhost
so try out following commands :
$> setenv DISPLAY :0
$> xhost 

I hope this will resolve your error.

But in some cases, the Eclipse will crash due to some error, due to which it could not able to remove ".lock" file from...
