OK, I have done some testing: Mike was right about the property that
have to be set, when running of an AFP volume:

=============
Thanks for the tip! I was having this problem when trying to open a
workspace under OS X on a disk that is shared via AFP (rather than
NFS). The locking daemon (#3 above) wasn’t working. So here’s my tip
for you: if you want to open a shared Eclipse workspace under OS X, go
to the Eclipse application, right-click and select Show Package
Contents. From there, open Contents > MacOS, then add -
Dosgi.locking=none to the file eclipse.ini. Voila, now you can open an
Eclipse project across the network.
=============
If you are running of an NFS volume, there is no such problem. Nor
with a Portable Home Directory in local mode (with PHD you can decide
whether to copy the whole shebang to a local internal/external disk,
or just leave the home folder on the server).
This is the situation as it stands in 10.5.6. We'll see how that
progresses in Snow Leopard.
