OK, first, you should not run anything as root. It's a huge security risk. Even if you PC is not networked, you should still not run anything as root, because one file that you delete wrongly will ruin your system. The error you are getting is exactly because of it... the system do not want you do run programs as root. Still, doing this would fix it:
Open a terminal then type:
xhost +
then login as root with su:
su
then try to fire up Eclipse again:
eclipse
The best way though, is to make sure that all your users can write to the FAT32 partition. To do that, you've to edit your /etc/fstab, adding the following line to it:
/dev/hda1 /mnt/data vfat uid=500,gid=500,umask=000,exec,dev,suid,rw 1 0
That's all. Hope it helps.
Regards!
