This didn't work for me either. Use Eclipse from openSuSE repo.

I tried it before and didn't work.
To run Eclipse 3.3 first I downloaded the tarball from Eclipse.org and then run the eclipse C executable, which should load the IDE but it doesn't.
The eclipse tar ball package that i installed from their website works fine, and i am able to run the "eclipse" executable... but when i installed eclipse through yast, that doesn't work and it throws the same error which it throws for you. btw if ur using the eclipse tar ball package you may need to unzip jdk somewhere (/usr/local for me) and set the JAVA_HOME and add the $JAVA_HOME\bin path in the PATH variables manually.

On 10.2... I download 32 bit eclipse+plugins from the Yoxos site (http://www.yoxos.com/ondemand/) and 64 bit from eclipse.org .. I unbundled them as root to /usr/share/eclipse (having first renamed the old eclipse dir to something else). Finally make sure you block updates in YaST by locking all references to eclipse. Then the old SuSE configuration and script works fine. Not that difficult really. To get the java based plugins to work on 64 bit all one needs to do is copy the relevant plugin dirs from the 32 bit version. (Obviously binary versions will not work). The only downside is you need to update and install plugins as root, in a single user scenario this is not a major problem. - -- ============================================================================== I have always wished that my computer would be as easy to use as my telephone.
