Description of problem: Older eclipse versions used java-1.7.0 to build and that took ~1h to complete on ppc64. Newer eclipse uses java-1.8.0 which doesn't seem to have the HotSpot JIT, the warning below references the Zero engine. Recent builds with java-1.8.0-openjdk take ~4hrs on ppc64.

The PPC64 JIT won't appear in the 1.8.0 packages until they upgrade to u20 or later.
