after this piece of code:

# If the user has not set JAVA_HOME, cycle through our list of compatible VM's
# and pick the first one that exists.
if [ -z "${JAVA_HOME}" ]; then
    echo "searching for compatible vm..."
    cat /etc/eclipse/java_home | grep -v '^#' | grep -v '^$' | \
    while read JAVA_HOME; do
        echo -n "  testing ${JAVA_HOME}..."
        if [ -x "${JAVA_HOME}/bin/java" ]; then
            export JAVA_HOME
            echo "found"
            break
        else
            echo "not found"
        fi
    done
fi

$JAVA_HOME is always empty and eclipse will not start

replacing cat·/etc/eclipse/java_home·|·grep·-v·'^#'·|·grep·-v·'^$'·|·while·read·JAVA_HOME;·do
with
for JAVA_HOME in `cat /etc/eclipse/java_home | grep -v ^# | grep -v ^$`; do
should work without the export
