I too have 64bit Suse 10.1 and it makes no problems when using own java/eclipse

* Make sure to use a 64bit Java >= 1.5 from Sun (java --version) and not that gnu java 1.4
* You have to install a own Eclipse - the SuSE rpms are too old - Use Europa
* Make sure to install the 64 binary. The CDT Linux bundle download seems still not to offer
  the 64 bit version. You have to download the Europa classic und then install the CDT plugin.

* Sounds complicated but ist not. :)
