Eclipse, like any other Linux process, probably doesn't care about
LD_LIBRARY_PATH. But that's beside the point. It's the dynamic linker
that cares about it.
To have any effect, it should be obvious that LD_LIBRARY_PATH has to be
propagated to the corresponding process's (Eclipse's) environment. So,
depending on how you start Eclipse you may have, for example, to
"export" LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

That's an alternative approach. But not the only way to do it.
The drawback of explicitly setting java.library.path is that it's value
will be overridden while the value of LD_LIBRARY_PATH will be added to
the value of java.library.path. Depending on one's needs this may or may
not be something to care about.
