In the CDT, where we have this problem probably as much as anyone, we try hard not to depend on the environment. Mind you, you haven't really stated why you need the PATH set.

Subject: [eclipse-dev] Eclipse startup OSX

Hi there,
i didn't find a mailing list for packaging related issues, so i want to shortly discuss it here.
As you propably know, starting eclipse under OSX will not set your Environment PATH to the same value as it would in bash.
I was just asking myself, why this hasn't been worked around, because it often leads to trouble.
Is there a policy, that requires the Eclipse.app to directly start the Application rather then starting a wrapper script?
I would just suggest running "source /etc/profile" prior starting eclipse and to include that into the distribution packages.
