eclipse-sdk-bin-2.1 works for me. which jdk are you running? (output of java-config -L)
is the bug still valid? the binary eclipse got replaced by a source eclipse, you may try that one
I was running a blackdown-jdk-1.3.1. Some time ago i noticed that there was a 1.4.1 version from IBM, so i installed that. Then i unmerged all eclipse stuff and then i emerged eclipse-sdk-2.1.2-r1 and it worked. I don't know if the problem was the blackdown jvm in compiling time. Now i can launch eclipse with both jvms.
