Hi

What I meant is that we have imported a patch from Fedora to our source repository and with our next build/upload to Ubuntu, this bug should be dealt with and you will then be able to download a patched version of eclipse via KPackageKit. I am unsure if the packages from eclipse.org has been fixed - the fix is scheduled for their 3.5.2 release, but I do not if it made it into the RC2 released recently.

So, unless 3.5.2RC2 contains the fix, I guess the answer is to wait a bit. I am guessing your next question will be "when will the patched eclipse be available?". I do not know yet, I will have a chat with Benjamin about it.

As for the core of the problem: From what I can tell (by looking at the patch), it seems that a NullPointerException in some java code caused it. I think (but I honestly do not know) that the error was incorrectly reported as being in libpango. I admit that I have not been paying too much attention to the actual cause for it (I only looked for the patch). If you want the full story, I can recommend reading the eclipse bug linked from here - it may even know if eclipse 3.5.2RC2 contains the fix.
