I installed 12.04 xubuntu and latest eclipse. Java is also installed. path is set correctly. but there are two things strange to me.

when I double click the eclipse executable, it says cannot find java;

create a launcher on the desktop, it says the same thing as above;**

open a terminal, type eclipse, it will start eclipse without any error. type java in terminal also shows java is installed and available to the system.

I suspect you need to use update-alternatives to get the links to default locations in order. Your edits to .bashrc aren't applied unless you run in a terminal.

Alternately, you could make a bash script to run your bashrc and then eclipse and use that as your launcher target.
