You could of course start eclipse remotely via Secure Shell but not all
hardware supports such a huge (and java based!!!) application:
$ ssh -X user@ipaddress eclipse

PS: IIRC you have to ensure that you have the proper display permissions as
otherwise a part of eclipse is running on the remote host and needs to be
explicitely killed even after getting the error message. (No initial check
for display permissions happens.)
