Good news. I looked thoroughly in /usr/lib/jvm, and discovered that
there was also a java-6-sun-1.6.0.20 folder, whose bin/ was containing
java. I managed to make it default:
# update-alternatives --config java
There are 3 alternatives which provide `java'.
Selection Alternative
-----------------------------------------------
1 /usr/bin/gij-4.3
+ 2 /usr/lib/jvm/java-gcj/jre/bin/java
* 3 /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.20/bin/java
and now Eclipse works like a charm. The Sun's version is actually
incompatible in some way with Debian (Lenny, at least). The
java-6-sun-1.6.0.20 was already installed, and comes from the non-free
depos. But it was not recognized (and interpreted) by
update-alternatives. Why?
The problem is that I can't deinstall the other one (I see no way,
either on Google, or here). It is also in /usr/bin/java. Any idea?
Thanks.
