How to make running java/devel-eclipse environment on FreeBSD 9?

[Marek]

Thank you very much. I will try your patches.

BTW, just for the record - I continued hunting in the mean time for solution and spotted that other java-based programms can be affected as well (in my case it was tuxguitar - enabling "help" in it leads to this issue as well).
