I installed Eclipse in Breezy via the Add Applications program, but would get errors when trying to run the software update / plug-in install portion of Eclipse. I found a useful page that give the step by step on how to get around the issues:

The distilled version is:

sudo apt-get install eclipse-source
sudo mkdir /usr/local/lib/eclipse/plugins
sudo mkdir /usr/local/lib/eclipse/features
sudo chown `id -un`:`id -gn` /usr/local/lib/eclipse/*

I tried these four steps and now update is running properly!:p
