I'm using eclipse on arch64 running the sun-jre every day (I hope this some hope you'll get your problem sorted ^^) Please download a fresh eclipse from eclipse.org. What jre are you using? Does it crash even if you start a new workspace? If Eclipse crashes, it writes a log into the dir you started eclipse from. Starting it via mouse click means $HOME is the this dir. Please look into the log file. A problem I had was http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.arch.general/15891/focus=15892 maybe this is your issue too. -- Maik
