I've used the binary available from www.eclipse.org on the amd64 platform and
it seems to work pretty well asside from the occasional crash, though that
happens in 32-bit too :) The reason I request updating and adding ~amd64 to
eclipse-sdk-bin rather than eclipse-sdk is that apparently amd64 is not a
supported arch target for the eclipse source build yet.
Reproducible: Always

Dude, eclipse does have an amd64 binary release avail. The 3.0M8 one seems to
be broken, but the latest Integration build I20040413 works just fine.
Probably best if you do this one manually, until eclipse has an official
release.
I've actually looked at the eclipse ebuild and it is x86 specific for 3.0M8.
The binary release works just fine, I use it all the time. If its just a matter
of someone editing the ebuild I'm sure I could kludge something together, but I
know it wouldn't be pretty...
I don't have an amd64, but I'll try getting login on one.
I've arranged for login on the amd64 box after it's moved to OSU. Seeing as
there are still a lot of work to do before eclipe-sdk is stable even on x86,
I'm sad to inform you that amd64 isn't going to be handled before mid-may at
the earliest:/
Your alternative is to submit a patch for the existing eclipse-sdk-bin, so that
I can get one of the amd64 developers to take it for a quick spin before
committing it as ~amd64, but I don't have the time myself to "blind-code" it.
The 3.0.1-r1 is supposed to compile and work on amd64. If it doesn't please
open
a fresh bug about it.
