Bug#603877: eclipse: Maven builds do not work after update

[Gonzalo Bermudez]

Package: eclipse
Version: 3.5.2-7
Severity: normal
Tags: sid

After upgrading eclipse, I tried to run a maven build which failed 
with "Could not initialize class com.ibm.icu.impl.JavaTimeZone".

Googling around for a solution (I was in sort of a hurry) I came up 
with a thread in the Eclipse Forums, which mentioned an additional 
problem that came with this one: Project Properties windows fail to 
open, reporting invalid values. Once I was convinced this was the 
case, I patched the jar suggested by the link and now it works.

The post in Eclipse Forums with the solution is
