I did some research. There is a comment with a workaround at the bottom 
of this page:

http://wbeaton.blogspot.com/2005/09/eclipse-in-64-bits.html

A more thorough discussion is here:

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=71987

The relevant JDK bug entry is here:

http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=5060628

The Sun engineer's fix is described here:

http://blogs.sun.com/roller/page/javawithjiva/20051031

It is reported to be fixed in jdk 1.5 update 6 and jdk 1.6 build 59.


Cheers,
