I've tested default installation and eclipse works. # ls -Z /usr/java/jdk1.6.0_05/jre/lib/i386/client/libjvm.so -rwxr-xr-x root root system_u:object_r:textrel_shlib_t /usr/java/jdk1.6.0_05/jre/lib/i386/client/libjvm.so Try to relabel your filesystem: # restorecon -Rv /usr/local/java/ OR # touch /.autorelabel; reboot
Even if I move java tree to /usr/local it is still labeled correctly # restorecon -Rv /usr/local/java/ # ls -Z /usr/local/java/jdk1.6.0_05/jre/lib/i386/client/libjvm.so -rwxr-xr-x root root system_u:object_r:textrel_shlib_t /usr/local/java/jdk1.6.0_05/jre/lib/i386/client/libjvm.so # rpm -q selinux-policy selinux-policy-2.6.4-70.fc7 In case that your problem isn't solved by above steps please reopen bug.
