As I said many times before.
Read also the Eclipse homepage.

Eclipse isnt recommendend to RUN on the new Java version.

BUT for developing it is completely perfect okay to use another vm / jdk
/ sdk / crazyjavamarketingabbrevations go here.

Also I NEVER would install a Eclipse from the repository - it is so
outdated!

But if that is not bad enough - the also begin to packaging eclipse
plugins altough these plugins have a own update mechanism so they will
be more outdated than even eclipse.

My recommendation:

Use the Sun Java 5 packages from the repository to run Eclipse, but use
a Eclipse from the Eclipse homepage.

If you want to develop in Java 6 or OpenJDK than add them as choice when
creating a new project.

Its all easy.

Lucky that I had to do much Java stuff..

I use Eclipse for Python Development (PyDev plugin)
