Hi,

What version of Java are you using to run Eclipse?  If in doubt, running
"readlink -f /usr/bin/java" should be a good guess.  Example:

"""
  $ readlink -f /usr/bin/java
  /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk-i386/jre/bin/java
"""

If that gives you Java 6 (examples include java-6-openjdk or
java-6-sun-java), could you try with Java 7?  Ensure you have
openjdk-7-jdk installed and run (as root):

"""
  $ update-java-alternatives --set java-1.7.0-openjdk-i386
"""
