Eclipse not working (Ubuntu 12.04)

hmmm
Let me have a think first - there's the option of forcibly deleting all the libswt files in the x86_64 folder but for now, you could try

sudo update-alternatives --config java

see which java type is set as the default and try switching to another one, then try eclipse and report back.

Hey, i changed from the oficial java i had (jdk1.7.0_07) and switched to openjdk 7, and it works! thanks! now im just gonna have to switch between javas, because i like to use the official java, instead of openjdk

thanks, worked. I just wanna know, can you like somehow tell me, how to make a desktop terminal app? i wanna make a little shortcut on my desktop, which opens terminal and types the sudo update-alternatives --config java code, is there an easy way to do that?
