The JPackage.org RPM does this by adding a new entry for the Sun JDK to
the alternate system and making it the default (this changes the
symlinks java, javac, and rmic). So Eclipse will be started using the
new JDK. For programming with Java 1.5 you must change the used JDK in
Eclipse under Window -> Preferences -> Java -> Installed JRE. The
directory is the GCJ installation dir. This must be changed to the Sun
JDK installation dir.

I cannot look at a running Sun JDK and Eclipse installation because I've
updated to FC5 and my wlan card doesn't work :-(.
