Bug Description

Binary package hint: eclipse

Eclipse is up to version 3.4.2, but Ubuntu still only has 3.2.2, so we're now two major versions behind. This is a fairly major IDE, used as the primary tool for many types of development, and having such an old version causes problems developing for newer platforms (such as Android).

Plus, manual install of the latest release doesn't work properly (at least on Jaunty/amd64), because it gets hit by this bug:
