That switches the ENTIRE JVM into interpreted mode. Not really a smart idea. It's better to just disable the function causing the crash.

Also, Fedora and Red Hat maintain their own JVM port, IcedTea. There's a good chance they don't have the same problems (or that it's already fixed). They seem to move faster than Sun when it comes to stuff like this.

I realize IcedTea is also in Ubuntu, but it originally comes from the Red Hat folks, so they probably have a more up to date version. They generally do a much better job maintain eclipse and eclipse related software.
