In the end I got things working; I did a "yum update gcc4-java", then a
"yum remove eclipse-platform" for good measure.

I then did a "yum install eclipse-gtk2 eclipse-jdt" and got this:

Complete!

However, Eclipse started up OK (albeit with an error):
[dmalcolm at cassandra fedora-updates]$ eclipse
Warning: -Xms64M not understood. Ignoring.
Warning: -Xmx256M not understood. Ignoring.

and it seems to be working - tempting the fates here :-)
Awesome!

BTW I didn't seem to get a splash screen.

Hope the above information is of use.
