Description of problem:
Eclipse crashes on startup when Sun's java from jdk1.5.0_06 is the preferred Java on the system.  This happens even when bug #174612 workaround for x86_64 systems is applied (i.e. disable mozilla support by renaming /etc/gre.d/gre64.conf).

This is a compatibility bug involving eclipse-platform-3.1.1-1jpp_1fc.FC4.4 and Sun's jdk-1_5_0_06-nb-4_1-linux-ml.bin package.  Downgrading java to java-1.4.2-gcj-compat-1.4.2.0-40jpp_31rh.FC4.2 makes the bug go away, but this isn't always desirable.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
eclipse-platform-3.1.1-1jpp_1fc.FC4.4

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Sun's Java package jdk1.5.0_06
2. Make Sun's Java the preferred java on the system
3. Remove ~/workspace and ~/.eclipse, then start eclipse
  

Actual Results:  Crash.

Expected Results:  No crash.

Additional info:

This eclipse crash leaves a log in ~/workspace/.metadata/.log:

Checking the supposedly missing shared library, I find no problems:

$ file ~/.eclipse/org.eclipse.platform_3.1.1/configuration/org.eclipse.osgi/bundles/86/1/.cp/libswt-pi-gtk-3139.so
~/.eclipse/org.eclipse.platform_3.1.1/configuration/org.eclipse.osgi/bundles/86/1/.cp/libswt-pi-gtk-3139.so: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, AMD x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), stripped

Therefore, something else is amiss.
