Ron, in eclipse i avoid doing any work involving multiple remotes. I do those things from the commandline. Other things work fine and the part with remotes might work well as well these days. If you use only your fork from eclipse and fetch and rebase from apache or github from out side eclipse you won't have much issues either but integrating is really for the Devine. I won't go as far as to say it doesn't work but I recognise your pain and there is to much useful stuff to be done to dive into this IMHO.
What Sebastien describes is good with one addition: keep your fork up to date by pushing a fetch from apache back to yours from time to time. What I do is I fetch master from github/apache, branch, checkout my branch, edit and commit on my branch and then push my branch to my fork (not using master there at all. The rest I do on the github ui as Sebastien describes.
