Debian Lenny and Eclipse v3.2 bugfix

Fired up eclipse v3.2 in Debian lenny stable, ...and received error messages! oh no!

"robert@pip:~$ eclipse
searching for compatible vm...
  testing /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk...not found
  testing /usr/lib/jvm/java-gcj...found
/usr/lib/jvm/java-gcj/bin/java: symbol lookup error: /home/robert/.eclipse/org.eclipse.platform_3.2.0/configuration/org.eclipse.osgi/bundles/149/1/.cp/libswt-mozilla-gtk-3236.so: undefined symbol: _ZN4nsID5ParseEPKc"

Okay, then did a quick google search on the phrase "libswt-mozilla-gtk-3236.so: undefined symbol"

Which led me to http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=511713
"install
  xulrunner-dev 

and eclipse 3.2.2-6.1 should start under lenny."
So I then did robert@pip:~$ sudo aptitude install xulrunner-dev

Now eclipse v3.2 fires up fine in my Debian Lenny stable workstation.
