Eclipse and Java 1.6

Ever since Sun ‘refreshed’ Java 1.6. with the _04 version, Eclipse became unstable for me. After some googleing, it seems that this is actually a known problem with some changes in the JIT compiler that surfaced in _04 and beyond.

Adding

-XX:CompileCommand=exclude,org/eclipse/core/internal/dtree/DataTreeNode,forwardDeltaWith 
-XX:CompileCommand=exclude,org/eclipse/jdt/internal/compiler/lookup/ParameterizedMethodBinding,<init>

to the eclipse command (or .eclipserc, depending on your installation) made it stable again. So Sun, could you please fix this bug?
