This is the first problem you are going to need to address and is most likely caused by a bad project configuration:

Caused by: java.lang.ClassFormatError: Duplicate method name&signature in class file sim/util/media/chart/XYChartGenerator

Since I don't have the project in front of me the best advice I can offer is to avoid using the MASON .java files directly and just reference the JAR instead.

Little red X next to components can have a lot of meanings - would need to see the details since that could be anything from a syntax error to referencing a class that Eclipse can't find.

Little red x next to many components.

Also, when I try to run the Console I get a warning about errors.  I am bringing it up anyway, and
try to run, say, Ant Foraging.  I get the following trace:
