However, swt-gtk-3448 library is present:

Adding

  swt.library.path=/usr/lib64/

to /usr/lib64/eclipse-3.4/configuration/config.ini solves the problem.

Works for me using eclipse and Java6.  Only change is I used /usr/lib/ instead of /use/lib64, but otherwise the same thing.

This can most likely be marked RESOLVED INVALID. Only way I could reproduce that was that /usr/lib was not pointing to /usr/lib64.

Next to that eclipse 3.5 is stable on AMD64.

Please reopen if it's still not fixed.
