Bug#576106: eclipse: Eclipse help and welcome screens don't work

[Russ Allbery]

Package: eclipse
Version: 3.5.2-2
Severity: normal

I suspect you folks already know about this, but I didn't see a bug, so
just in case: with the current Eclipse version in unstable, the help
and welcome screens (below the top level) don't work.  There are two
problems: first, when it launches the embedded web browser, it tries
to connect to 127.0.0.1, but Jetty is listening only on ::1 via IPv6.
Setting sys.net.ipv6.bindv6only to 0 fixes that.

Second, once that's fixed, the JSP pages won't compile.  I get the
following in the pop-up window that's supposed to show the help or
specific welcome screen (truncated to what I think are the interesting
bits):

HTTP ERROR 500

Missing dependency of some kind, maybe?
