Ahmed, Just guessing at the problem but are you launching eclipse from the command line? If you are launching as root from the command line the eclipse.desktop file doesn't take effect. This file is only for launching from the dash.
To launch from the command line with this fix type in: env UBUNTU_MENUPROXY= /opt/eclipse/eclipse (remembering the space after the "=").
