I'd like to see a possibility to choose the JVM, which eclipse runs with in a configuration file. I often use different user-vms for various development and application stuff. This causes several problems due to incompatibilities. Eclipse is such a problematic candidate, which e.g. does not run under Java6. Therefore I want to select the vm it uses in a configuration file. Thank you Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
I dont see why you need this. Eclipse runs perfectly well under Java 6 (probably better than with 1.5). Besides, you can choose the JVM to run your Eclipse project directly via Eclipse configuration. If you really need this, you can tweak the loader in /usr/bin/eclipse-3.4, but I can't think of a good use case for this

My usecase is avoidance of the coredump without the need to switch the vm twice or more often.
GENTOO_VM? GENTOO_VM="sun-jdk-1.5" /usr/bin/eclipse-3.4
