Hmm. It seems when I install eclipse from "sudo apt-get" it puts the
libraries in /usr/lib. Then eclim put libraries there--I'm pretty sure
when I did "java -jar eclim...jar" without running as root.

This time around, I just downloaded the eclipse files and put them in
my home dir. Updated my ECLIPSE_HOME manually, etc. Then when I
installed eclim it was fine.

I suppose I'm not an expert on the subleties of where various programs
will install their files, but as you suggest maybe some error message
will help other users.
