Enable eclipse global menu integration in Ubuntu (>= 11.10)

I have just reinstalled my workstation and have chosen to give Ubuntu Precise Pangolin, 12.04 LTS, a try.
Everything seams snappier compared to Oneiric Ocelot.

What isn't fixed is that Eclipse is blacklisted from Global App Menu bar.
I have found this method to solve my issue:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/eclipse/+bug/618587/comments/46

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" with "X")
rX

step 4: (save)
ZZ

step 5: (maybe optional, not sure)
sudo ldconfig

Thank you Vasile Rotaru!
