I don't really know... you could try creating a new user and trying to start
Eclipse with IcedTea with that new profile... of course you need to change
/etc/eclipse/java_home to add it as the first alternative.

Well if you removed some files from /usr/lib/eclipse it could be due to those
files being needed... I don't think you need to remove anything from it, just
change the java_home adding OpenJDK and seeing if it works.
