Would it be possible to get a statement of Ubuntu's view on this
problem?

It is legitimate that you say, "we do not see it as our problem". After all, 
the choice of re-using OS Theme based colors is not done by Ubuntu but by 
eclipse...
But this one already make clear that the problem would then have to be fixed on 
Eclipse's and not on Ubuntu's.

In any case, I do believe, however, it is in everyone's best interests
to have this problem solved.

I am certain that I am far from being the only person frustrated that
Ubuntu has the sloppiest looking Eclipse Look & Feel of all OS
distributions. At the end of they day ... we are talking about Eclipse,
I think it is not even debatable that this IDE should be up there on
your top priority list. It should actually be properly tested before any
Ubuntu major release. It is after all the main IDE for java development,
even if canonical focus more on C++, perl and python.

If you state this is clearly an Eclipse only problem, I shall forward
back your feedback to the Eclipse thread I posted above. I hope they
will accept the feedback and tune the eclipse classic theme to work on
Ubuntu, e.g. by not using OS based colors on widgets and other elements.

Many thanks for your understanding and feedback.
