Problems installing Eclipse Version: 3.1.2-1

[AG <alang@bigpond.net.au>]

Just thought I'd let people know of problems installing the eclipse
packages. (from testing Version: 3.1.2-1)

It was erroring on startup, see stack trace below.

It ran OK as root so I looked into permissions and had to change;

/usr/share/eclipse/configuration
and the files in this dir primarily
/usr/share/eclipse/configuration/.settings


cheers
