Bug#799810: eclipse: upgrade to 3.8.1-8 broke Eclipse

[Leszek Koltunski]

Package: eclipse
Version: 3.8.1-7
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Upgrade from 3.8.1-7 to 3.8.1-8 broke Eclipse for me. Now, when starting, I get
a popup saying 'Error detected - details in log file ***'. The log file ends
with

java.lang.RuntimeException: Application "org.eclipse.ui.ide.workbench" could
not be found in the registry.

I just manually downgraded the following packages

eclipse
eclipse-platform
eclipse-platform-data
eclipse-rcp
eclipse-jdt
eclipse-pde
libequinox-osgi-java

back to version 3.8.1-7 and reinstalled libicu4j-4.4-java (which somehow got
deleted by previous apt-get update & apt-get upgrade & apt-get autoremove
session) and Eclipse is working again.
