Bug#446328:

[Andrey Fedoseev]

I think I had similar problems with eclipse. I tried with both 3.2.2
(unstable) and 3.2.1 (testing) version. I also tried 3.3 from official
site. Debian versions had problems with some plugins, 3.3 didn't show
welcome screen and there were some other bugs too.

It turned out that my /etc/alternatives/java points
to /usr/lib/jvm/java-gcj/jre/bin/java

(BTW, the priority of /usr/lib/jvm/java-gcj/jre/bin/java is 1042, it
looks very strange)

I changed it with update-alternatives, so now it points
to /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun/jre/bin/java

After that I have no problems with running eclipse 3.3. I didn't try the
debian version yet.
