It looks as if the swt library is missing but that isn't a dependency of eclipse. I tried to install the swt package from the repo but that doesn't help. I also get the same error with jre+jdk and openjdk6.

I also tried deleting ~/.eclipse and starting with a clean workspace directory, but that didn't help.

Additional info:
* package version(s)
3.5.1-2
