I can't speak for IcedTea, but 3.3.1.1 would already be available in
Fedora if it weren't for stupid ppc64 build issues :(  I think I'm
almost there, though.

PermGen issues?  Try moving eclipse.ini from /usr/share/eclipse to
/usr/lib (or lib64)/eclipse and making it look something like this (the
last line is key):

-showsplash
org.eclipse.platform
-vmargs
-Xms40m
-Xmx256m
--XX:MaxPermSize=128m

HTH,

Andrew
