Bug#396376: eclipse: doesn't start - "java.lang.RuntimeException: Could not find framework"

[Ludo]

Package: eclipse
Version: 3.1.2-2
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

When I try to run 'eclipse', it shows me dialog that it couldn't start, and that
I should check a log file in my ~/.eclipse.
Here's the output, with different VM's (changed using /etc/eclipse/java_home):
