Eclipse Plugin Fix

The problem: Your fresh install of Eclipse won’t succeed in installing any of the plugins that make it wonderful; so Eclipse is useless to you. The specific error you’re seeing is: 

The artifact file for osgi.bundle,
org.eclipse.ant.ui,3.4.1.v20090901_r351 was not found.
Rather than analyse, research, and work to fix the problem, you could just trust me that the following Debian-Fu will solve it: 
sudo aptitude install eclipse-jdt eclipse-pde
Don’t thank me, thank the nice folks who commented on the bug over at:
