You can also rename java to java_real and use this portion of code as your java command :

#!/bin/bash

path=$(dirname $(readlink -f $0))
args=""
runner="$path/java_real"
for var in "$@"
do
    if [ "$var" = "-3d" ]; then
    runner="primusrun $runner"
  else
    args="$args $var"
  fi
done

$runner $args

NOTE : I had to do this in /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64/jre/bin, not in /usr/bin to make it work with Eclipse.

In Eclipse, just add "-3d" in your program arguments and you're good to go !
