Bug#587742: eclipse 3.6 building in sbuild and running in unstable

Ok, finally done (AFAIK). I have eclipse 3.6 in the eclipse-3.6 branch
building with sbuild targeted at unstable and running in unstable.
I've gone so far as to start development on another web app with the
Google Web Toolkit SDK (which is what I needed eclipse for).
eclipse-3.6 is building in sbuild and running without a problem for me
AFAIK, thus eclipse-3.6 is ready for an upload to unstable.

Note that there is a '-repository' option that can be used in the
changes to generate metadata (see the corresponding patch) to specify
a list of repositories to include in the default list of repositories
that have eclipse plugins available. See [1]. This would eliminate the
need to modify the *.prefs files in ~/.eclipse in the eclipse script.
This is something that can wait to be implemented until another upload
of eclipse.
