I don't know what Eclipse is, so I can't offer much in
the way of details, but I'll tell you what I can.

To run the ACT-R environment you need to have a Lisp with
multithreading capabilities, but that looks like it's the
non-threaded version of SBCL.  So, it looks to me like
you won't be able to run the environment with the setup
that you have, but if you can change it to use a different
Lisp, like CMUCL or a threaded build of SBCL, then you
should be able to run it.
