What you see is the expected behavior.
Please launch Eclipse by double-clicking the Eclipse.app application.
If you want to launch it from the command line, you'll have to pass in
the JVM launcher like this:
	./eclipse -vm Eclipse.app/Contents/MacOS/java_swt
(I'll consider making this the default).

Thanks for letting us know.
