I was not able to get a 32 bit Eclipse to run on Snow Leopard even after
changing Java preferences to put the 32 bit version first in priority.
Eventually loaded the 64 bit Cocoa and subclipse works fine, as do the swt
portions.  The error message was something to the effect of unable to load
32 bit swt components in a 64 bit JVM.  Not sure if this is the problem you
are having.
