If you're using jdk/jre from community, it is still the Sun's Java 
implementation. You'd have to remove it and then do pacman -S openjdk6 
to switch.

Don't know what's wrong with Eclipse though.

Perhaps try to do some googling about the errors from lines 11 and 25. 
Actually, all the lines of the pattern "Bundle 
reference:file:plugins/org.eclipse.core.resources.compatibility_3.4.0.v20080604-1400.jar 
was not resolved." are suspicious too. Seems like eclipse can't find 
many of its plugins. Try to look for these files whether you have them 
somewhere. Didn't you use some auto-update that might have failed or 
something?
