Eclipse 3.6 Helios had problem after upgrading to JDK 6u21 (1.6.0_21)

Two days ago I upgraded my JDK to latest 1.6.0_21. My colleague had warned me that the JDK got problem (I helped installing the Helios on his machine). I upgraded anyway, and bumped into that problem. I was aware that the error was expected. I decided to downgrade back to JDK 1.6.0_20 because I didn't have time to explore within that tight schedule.

I found this link http://www.infoq.com/news/2010/07/eclipse-java-6u21 which explains well why they have this problem.

The native code launcher uses the "COMPANY_NAME=Sun Microsystems, Inc", which then changed to "COMPANY_NAME=Oracle Corporation" by Oracle. Not just Eclipse, all RCP based applications are affected.
