You really shouldn't be running it as root.  Besides the normal reasons,
Eclipse may try to write stuff to the install directory which can affect
the installation.

This is a problem we've seen before with a corrupted platform.xml.  It
*may* have occurred because you ran as root but I'm not 100% sure of
that.  What's the output of:

for f in eclipse-rcp eclipse-platform eclipse-sdk; do echo $f; rpm -qV
$f; done

?
