The JVM version should not really matter, so I am going to speculate
as to what might have happened.

JavaHL is a native library that is called via JNI. By default, it is
not found in the library path that Linux JVM's use to search for the
native library. The JVM always has a couple of private paths where it
will look for libraries, and these show up in the error message. My
guess is that you copied or symlinked JavaHL into one of those paths.
So now the new JVM does not find the library.

The right way to do this is to edit the eclipse.ini file and add this
to the end:

-Djava.library.path=/usr/local/lib

Of course substitute the path where your JavaHL library lives.
