I get almost immediate segfaults.

I type

  eclipse-bin-7.2

It is basically empty (no projects).
I start a new project called "crash"
I then expand the project, select "src", right click and say "new class"
I call the class "Crash" and it give a correct skeleton
I go to the blank line above "public class Crash {" and start to type
"import java.util.scanner"

I get as far as "import java." then it pops up a window with completions
and segfaults.  It is quite repeatable.  This happens on a fresh install
of eclipse-bin.

Any advice?  Should I look for a binary on the eclipse site?

thanks,
