Eclipse on lectura

I have VNC running on lectura. When I try to start eclipse on it, it won't start and asks me to look at the metadata/log file.

Lectura is a 64-bit machine and has a 64-bit version of eclipse 
installed on it. In order to use Eclipse on it, you would need a 
64 bit version of java in your search path. The version now in 
/usr/local/bin on lectura is a 32-bit version.  

You need to modify your PATH:
e.g., in bash

PATH=/usr/local/jdk1.6.0_02-x86_64/bin:$PATH

Then run eclipse.
