Enable eclipse global menu integration in Ubuntu (Fix)


I have reinstalled my Ubuntu 11.10, The global menu integration of Eclipse stopped working. There seems to be a bug in libappmenu.so file which is causing this problem.

Simple Hack for this problem (Even tough it seems silly, it works like charm) 
Simply:

step 1:
$ sudo vim /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/menuproxies/libappmenu.so

step 2: (search for "Eclipse")
/Eclipse

step 3: replace "E" of "Eclipse" with "X"


step 4: save

step 5: recompile the menu bindings 
sudo ldconfig
