How to set Sun-JVM as the default compatible JVM for eclipse?

Hi All:
I had both gcj java and sun java installed on my system Lenny/Sid, and I have set the sun java as my default jvm. 
# update-alternatives --config java
But when launching my eclipse, it always uses the gcj java as its default vm, and in consequence, returns with some exceptions that I think might be caused by gcj vm. 

michael@debian:~$ eclipse
searching for compatible vm...
 testing /usr/lib/jvm/java-gcj...found
Could not create /usr/local/lib/eclipse/.eclipseextension. Please run as root: 
   touch /usr/local/lib/eclipse/.eclipseextension
   chmod 2775 /usr/local/lib/eclipse/.eclipseextension
   chown root:staff /usr/local/lib/eclipse/.eclipseextension
When the eclipse is opened, the summary page can't be opened up with the exceptions thrown:

Does anybody have idea how to fix the issues? Both gcj and sun java are allowed on the same system, and I just like the eclipse to use the sun java as its vm to work. 
Thank you guys!
