Hi,

Sorry but I have once again remove and purged *all* the eclipse related packages
(all eclipse + gcj and gij) than rm -rf ~/workspace and rm -rf ~/.eclipse and
then reinstall eclipse and it works.
I'm have no clue where the problem was because I have not change anything else.
I'm not sure if it was noise or not...

Xavier.
