I'm sure that Eclipse will be updated to reflect the changes shortly. That's one of the beauties of open source projects.
Last I heard, Eclipse hasn't planned support until February 2005. Hey, they've only had a year in which to play with the betas and get their damn code updated! (NOTE: I hope this was a mistake, typo, or similar and that I'm completely wrong. Otherwise I may need to stop using eclipse permanently because when my employer switches to java 5.0 I can't bear to be forced to do 1.4 at home :( :( :()
Eclipse is great (I use it myself), but the dev process really sucks. Definitely not a shining example of what open-source can achieve - too many bugs, too many stupid architectural designs, too many ultra-basic features missing (e.g. refactoring the type of a variable == not supported (!)).
