Did you ever get JavaHL properly loaded? See:

http://desktop-eclipse.open.collab.net/wiki/JavaHL

JavaHL uses the same SSH config as the command line and should work.
However, if the command line normally prompts you for anything, then
it will not work as you cannot respond to the prompt. If you launch
Eclipse from a Terminal session then you will get the prompts in that
Terminal. The better thing is to use something like ssh-agent so that
you do not have to respond to any prompts.
