Bug#453513: eclipse: does not start with gcj jvm

[Nicolas Maitre]

Package: eclipse
Version: 3.2.2-4
Severity: grave
Justification: causes non-serious data loss

Hi,
I had problems launching eclipse. Every time I tried, the "java" process
was using up to 80% of the memory.

% eclipse -debug

Then I tried with the sun jvm with this command :
% eclipse -debug -consolelog -vm /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/bin/java
and all's going fine...

Maybe gcj is the problem but I didn't run any other problem with it.

Thanks
