What amazes me is that http://www.eclipse.org/artwork/ doesn't provide any usefull logos/icons, and all of them are raster and not vector images.

pacman -Ql eclipse | grep "/eclipse[0-9]*.png" reveals where the icons have been moved. Moreover the icons for 3.3 and 3.4 are identical.
I would like to propose the following:

Instead of pointing the icon variable in the .desktop file to one of those icons, we should make symlinks of them to /usr/share/icons/hicolor/{16x16,32x32,48x48}/apps/eclipse.png as proposed by the freedesktop standard. That way, each WM/DE/application can choose for itself which icon to use in which situation. A simple "Icon=eclipse" in the .desktop-file will then be sufficient and return optimal results.

I've also had the pleasure to find an unofficial SVG logo [1][2]. The logo has no concrete license, but the blog states the following:
"Feel free to use this icon as you would the official eclipse icon. I place no additional restrictions on its use that are not on the original."
Which IMHO means we have no problem.
This file should then be placed in /usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/eclipse.svg

Better fix it by

cp /usr/share/eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.sdk_3.4.1.v200809111700/eclipse.png /usr/share/pixmaps/

or edit /usr/share/applications/eclipse.desktop...

Come on, how come that this hasn't been fixed so far?
It seems to me that all that has to be done is to add a line to PKGBUILD, isn't it like that?

Yes, G_Syme already offered a nice solution

Just a small update about the unofficial SVG icon. On request of some users the author has also released a version with transparent background [1]:
I'd really like to see this one in action. ^^
