I'm not seeing this on x86_64 or x86 with IcedTea or gcj. Note that you shouldn't run Eclipse as root because it modifies files in /usr/share/eclipse if it can write there which can then mess up future running as a regular user.
Interesting. I only tried running it as root AFTER I could not start Eclipse as my normal user.
The F8T2 was a clean install, leaving my old home partition unformatted. I didn't have any problems previously running Eclipse in F7.
I'll try uninstalling/reinstalling Eclipse, making sure /usr/share/eclipse is empty and try again.
I don't *think* this should cause a problem, but try temporarily moving ~/.eclipse out of the way and see if that fixes it.

I was on a totally fresh installed system, so there is no old ~/.eclipse to mess up things.
