[fedora-java] Eclipse + CDT early failure after startup

[Edward A. Hildum]

I am working with a fresh install of Eclipse 3.1.2 and CDT from fedora 
core 5 RPMs, and with subclipse added using the standard update 
procedure.  This installation worked for several hours without problems 
on 5/23, building a moderately large C/C++ project and updating SVN 
repositories.  The following day, after installing updates using yum, 
this installation fails after startup, during the C/C++ indexing process 
with the following messages:

java.lang.ClassCastException: 
org.eclipse.cdt.internal.core.dom.parser.cpp.CPPASTQualifiedName cannot 
be cast to org.eclipse.cdt.core.dom.ast.cpp.ICPPASTFunctionDeclarator

I am most interested in a solution since this shuts down my development. 
  If there is a more appropriate list to post this on, please let me know.

Thanks,
