OpenJDK-7 update gives errors in Eclipse-4.2 preferences

Hi,

I installed an update to OpenJDK-7 in the last few hours and now
Eclipse is failing to let me see the preferences panel for installed
JREs, and in addition, I cannot run code inside Eclipse.

I get the following error in ~/workspace/.metadata/.log when I try to
go to Window->Preferences->Java->Installed JREs, and there is also an
error dialog inside Eclipse at the point of failure that doesn't tell
me much.

Naively I would say that something relating to
com.ibm.icu.text.SimpleDateFormat may have changed in the most recent
OpenJDK, as it seems to be the root cause.
