[SOLVED]Eclipse broken after upgrade to 4.4.1-1

My latest upgrade of Eclipse to 4.4.1-1 broke it.
When eclipse starts, it tries to lods its component, then fails with a pop-up message error referring to the log for further details.

Inspection of the blog shows that it cannot find a number of required packages. for instance, the first few lines show:

!SESSION 2014-12-12 12:22:22.965 -----------------------------------------------

I have reinstalled jdk7 (Oracle's version) and applied (as root)  the fix suggested on Archlinux's home page and in several other posts:

archlinux-java fix

To no avail. Nothing changes.

Help appreciated.

Re: [SOLVED]Eclipse broken after upgrade to 4.4.1-1

Is it the same as https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=184260 ?

Edit: Both jdk8-openjdk and jdk7-openjdk dependencies work for me on my 32-bit Arch with [testing] repos enabled.
Eclipse starts, the splash screen goes away and I get 'Welcome to Eclipse' screen with links to the workbench, tutorials etc.

Edit 2: jdk7 works too.

That was it. I had missed it when searching on the forums.
The suggested solution worked fine (removing ~/.eclipse and reinstalling)

Thanks!
