Yes, I have been running eclipse for some time now. I've seen a few workarounds for the problems with eclipse in http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-283429.html

You can use this: # emerge depclean -a BIG FAT WARNING: the success of this command relies heavily on the state of your system. If you have maintained your system well it will only clean the dependencies that are not actively used. If you haven't maintained your system that well it might unmerge some essential packages as well. By actively I mean dependencies controlled by USE flags. Some packages will still use a library even though it's not in the packages (R)DEPEND list. Make sure you review the list of packages before proceeding to unmerge them. If you see a package that doesn't belong on the unmerge list you can add it to the portage world file with `emerge --noreplace <packagename>` After you've unmerged dependencies with depclean you must run the following command to fix broken libraries/executables that were using the a passive dependency. # revdep-rebuild -p revdep-rebuild is part of app-portage/gentoolkit -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
