Bug Description

Binary package hint: eclipse

When running newly installed eclipse, I get:

Could not create /usr/local/lib/eclipse/.eclipseextension. Please run as root:
    touch /usr/local/lib/eclipse/.eclipseextension
    chmod 2775 /usr/local/lib/eclipse/.eclipseextension
    chown root:staff /usr/local/lib/eclipse/.eclipseextension

I believe this file should be in a package and have proper permissins there.
