When Eclipse is run with GCJ (GNU compiler for Java) the file search does not work properly.
This problem can be Solved by adding a file ~/.eclipse/eclipserc
with the following content:
export JAVA_HOME=<path-to-jvm>
Replace <path-to-jvm>
by the path to the installed JVM of Oracle, for example: /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun-1.5.0.11
For details see the bug in the Eclipse bug database.
