There is a severe flaw in Eclipse 3.5 which is exposed in Ubuntu 9.10.
Eclipse seems to use the GTK library in the wrong way when creating dialog
boxes. As you would notice pretty soon, hitting a button hardly does a
thing. See this blog for more information:
http://blog.export.be/2009/10/fixing-eclipse-for-ubuntu-karmic-koala-9-10/
The workaround is to
export GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=1
before starting Eclipse.
Will only be fixed in Eclipse 3.6 it seems.

When I read this, I'm happy that I let you figure out this one by
yourself. I hope it took you quite some time to find out what was
wrong :-P
Actually, I got confronted with this bug more than a month ago in
debian testing :-)

Here is more information about the bug. Might be a good a idea to join
the CC for them (I have).
Take care

Actually, this is the bug report and it affects ALL new Linux distributions:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=290395
work around is to put the following in .bashrc or as mentioned above
to execute in command line:
export GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=true
-H
