Hi, all.
I reported a new bug for 12.04:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/eclipse/+bug/1047353
I'm not sure whether 10.04's Eclipse works out-of-the-box now.
But certainly not for that of 12.04.
Having workarounds is not enough.
We need root fix like patching the eclipse package in
An easy way to fix this is to install gnome-color-chooser .
Open it, go to Specific - Tooltips and put black foreground over pale yellow

You can either fetch it from the PPA at [1] or wait for us to upload it.

It is not eclipse's fault, per se. Eclipse uses several different text
