I haven't tried Snow Leopard yet, but my understanding is that it removes 
Java 1.5 and switches the default JVM to Java 1.6 (64-bit, presumably).  So 
if I'm correct about that, you'll need to either install a Java 1.5 VM, and 
make sure that your eclipse.ini points to it, or else change to a Cocoa 
64-bit build.
