Sorry about the long delay. Here are some things that have become more obvious since the original incident:
1. The machine I was using seems to have a hardware problem that causes it to freeze. I don't believe that has anything to do with Ubuntu. The problem appeared around the same time as this "bug," so hopefully, the actual crash was caused by that. 2. There is a problem loading Eclipse packages from within Eclipse because they try to write to directories that require root access. Therefore, you would indeed have to launch Eclipse with sudo, as Josir recommended. However, I would prefer not to run something as sudo unless I have to, especially when writing code. I know what kind of damage I am capable of doing! 3. I am currently downloading Eclipse (non-repository) for my new machine, which is running much better than the old one. I still have the other one available, but due to the fact that there seems to be a hardware issue, I think that it is unfair to Ubuntu to use it to work off bugs. BTW, my new machine is dual-boot Feisty/Vista and running beautifully, though I can't speak much for the Vista side because I rarely use it.
