Hi Kevin and Jim

What version of lucene2 (liblucene2-java) do you have installed?

Kevin, thanks for the sed command; we may end up using it, though I
would refer not having to modify the file manually if I can avoid it.
If/when you experience this again could you please test if running

  eclipse -clean

fixes the file? I have heard a loose rumor that parts of upstream would
like to change the format of the bundles.info.

I am going to do another upload of eclipse soon to force stricter
dependencies with lucene2 soon. Hopefully this will be the last incident
for Squeeze.

~Niels
