Eclipse can't run Java after recent update on Ubuntu

Wed Sep 12 17:37:30 UTC 2012

     Hello,

  All I know is:

$ java -version
java version "1.7.0_07"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea7 2.3.2) (7u7-2.3.2-1ubuntu0.12.04.1)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 23.2-b09, mixed mode)

     Take care
     Oliver
