I installed eclipse on HPUX and it works fine as root but as non-root I
only get the splash screen followed by nothing. Do I need to set some
permissions somewhere?

1)did you unzip it as root?
then perhaps some of the files have the wrong rights.

the files should at least have read access for the users' group

2)
what about the rights of the workspace files?
There users need write access.

That all seems to be in order, I did install as root and then changed
the group name to one that is normally used by developers. The
workspace should be picked by the user.

However I had to do a chmod -R g+w in the eclipse directory; now
starting as another user at least brings up the 'select workspace'
dialog. After selection however it just 'hangs'. Process is there but
nothing is happening. Is there some logging/tracing one can turn on?

1) just in case: u did chown -R root:users ./eclipse ,didn't u?
(or something simular) and u try to make/open a workspace in a directory
where the user has write rights?

2)
eclipse writes its error log to the directory where it recides.
(if u can reach menu, there is window->show view->error log)
