I confirm it works with IBM JRE 1.6!
However, for some reason the file eclipse.ini is not parsed by /usr/bin/eclipse (although inotify reports it's open during the initialization)
Two possible workarounds:
1. create a file eclipserc under $HOME/.eclipse with the following line
JAVA_HOME=/path/to/ibm-jvm/jre
2. use /usr/lib/eclipse/eclipse (instead of /usr/bin/eclipse)
