eclipse-jdt is already the newest version.
You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
sun-java6-demo: Depends: sun-java6-jre (= 6-03-0ubuntu2) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: sun-java6-jdk (= 6-03-0ubuntu2) but it is not going to be installed

Yes, I saw that message. However, the point of a package manager is to automatically install jdk-6-doc.zip and jdk-6-doc-ja.zip. Neither are installed manually hence the bug report.

It can be installed (manually -- Lars and Matt, you probably know but it took me awhile to figure it out. Hope this helps someone)

Copy the archive file over to /tmp and chown. Somewhere I got the idea the file should be expanded and of course that didn't work...

as such...

$ cp /the_folder(s)_you_downloaded_to/jdk-6-doc.zip /tmp
$ sudo chown root:root /tmp/jdk-6-doc

Good luck
