Actually, don't --- that actually stands a good chance of breaking things
in bizarre ways. Use DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH instead, it's less likely
to cause weird breakage.

The other problem is that Eclipse is generally launched from the GUI, and
getting DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH visible to the GUI is painful:  you need
to create ~/.launchd.conf and add something like

    setenv DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH /usr/local/
mysql-5.6.11-osx10.7-x86_64/lib

to it, then log out and back in so that the GUI is started with it. (This
does stand a certain chance of making things go haywire, because you're
really not supposed to set that --- but in this case I think you're stuck.)
