Karmic Koalas Crash Eclipse

So I took the plunge and updated my system to 9.10 (karmic koala) from 9.4 (jaunty jackalope). So far I'm happy with the small aesthetic changes and what seems to be a mild speed increase, but I was miffed to find out that the new release broke my version of Eclipse. I used the workaround found here, which worked well. Ubuntu is great and all, but its moments like this that I wonder if it'll ever make it to the mainstream.
