branflake2267's solution worked for me as well. This seems the most
straight-forward solution:

I'm using Hardy with Eclipse 3.2. I was using Sun Java JDK 6 under
Gutsy. With upgraded to "Hardy" Eclipse kept crashing as described in
this bug. Setting the JAVA_HOME as "branflake2267" described above fixed
the problem perfectly (obviously, you will need Sun Java 1.5 installed
-- available from Synaptic).
